AbstractIn this article, a new structure comprising of a novel compact slot loaded polarization dependent Electromagnetic Band Gap structure (SLPDEBG), which enhances the performance of circularly polarized rotated square patch antenna by placing SLPDEBG unit cells around it, has been designed. The proposed antenna, having dimensions 0.640 λo x 0.640 λ x 0.0128 λo (λo stands for the free space wavelength at 2.39 GHz), shows that the measured impedance bandwidth and AR bandwidth is 120 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively, with a peak gain of 3.52 dB. Some prominent features of the proposed structure are: front to back ratio of 64, 3 db, beamwidth of 92° at xz-plane and 74° at yz-plane. This prototype antenna finds its application in wireless communication of ISM band. Good performance of the proposed antenna is verified by the close agreement between the simulated and measured results.

Purpose Application of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) i.e. electromagnetic band gap technique and its use in the design of microstrip antenna and MIC i.e. microwave integrated circuits is becoming more attractive. This paper aims to propose a new type of EBG fractal square patch microstrip multi band fractal antenna structures that are designed and developed. Their performance parameters with and without EBG structures are investigated and minutely compared with respect to the resonance frequency, return loss, a gain of the antenna and voltage standing wave ratio. Design/methodology/approach The fractal antenna geometries are designed from the fundamental square patch and then EBG structures are introduced. The antenna geometry is optimized using IE3D simulation tool and fabricated on low cost glass epoxy FR4, with 1.6 mm height and dielectric materials constant of 4.4. The prototype is examined by means of the vector network analyzer and antenna patterns are tested on the anechoic chamber. Findings Combining the square fractal patch antenna with an application of EBG techniques, the gain of microstrip antenna has been risen up and attained good return loss as compared to the antennas without EBG structures. The designs exhibit multi-frequency band characteristics extending in between 1.70 and 7.40 GHz. Also, a decrease in antenna size of 34.84 and 59.02 per cent for the first and second iteration, respectively, is achieved for the antenna second and third without EBG. The experimental results agree with that of simulated values. The presented microstrip antenna finds uses in industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band, Wi-Fi and C band. This antenna can also be used for satellite and radio detection and range devices for communication purposes. Originality/value A new type of EBG fractal square patch microstrip antenna structures are designed, developed and compared with and without EBG. Because of the application of EBG techniques, the gain of microstrip antenna has been risen up and attained good return loss as compared to the antennas without EBG structures. The designs exhibit multi-frequency band characteristics extending in between 1.70 and 7.40 GHz, which are useful for Wi-Fi, ISM and C band wireless communication.

Antena Ultra-Wideband (UWB) dengan karakteristik natural pita lebar adalah solusi yang baik dalam memenuhi kebutuhan perkembangan teknologi nirkabel yang saat ini membutuhkan antena yang dapat beroperasi pada beberapa pita layanan sekaligus. Namun, antena UWB tidak terlepas dari permasalahan interferensi elektromagnetik pada beberapa layanan yang tidak digunakan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan modifikasi pada antena UWB agar dapat mengatasi permasalahan interferensi elektromagnetik tersebut. Dalam makalah ini, perancangan antena mikrostrip UWB berbentuk heksagonal monopole planar dengan karakteristik peningkatan lebar pita menggunakan struktur Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) dan triple notch band dengan menggunakan tiga jenis slot telah dilakukan. Pengujian dilakukan dengan mengintegrasikan struktur EBG untuk dapat bekerja pada rentang lebar pita 2,8–16 GHz pada antena, lalu menambahkan kombinasi slot berbentuk huruf L, slot horizontal, dan slot melingkar dengan ukuran dimensi yang berbeda ke dalam patch untuk mendapatkan penolakan tiga pita frekuensi, yaitu pada frekuensi WLAN (4,9−6,2 GHz), komunikasi downlink satelit X-Band (7,1−7,6 GHz), dan komunikasi Direct Broadcasting Satellite (DBS) (12,2−12,7 GHz). Dengan metode ini, berhasil diperoleh peningkatan lebar pita antena UWB dari 7,72 GHz menjadi sebesar 13,22 GHz, tanpa mengubah karakteristik pola radiasi antena. Penambahan tiga notch band juga berhasil diimplementasikan tanpa harus mengubah dimensi antena keseluruhan, yaitu sebesar 35,6 mm × 27,3 mm.
