Double layer and edge-location via techniques are combined for electromagnetic band gap (EBG) size reduction. The study of the required number of elements and their dimensions is carried out in order to suppress the surface wave propagation modes and consequently to reduce the mutual coupling between radiating elements in low-permittivity substrates. By applying these techniques, the size of the EBG mushroom is reduced by 30%; however, the bandwidth operation maintains its value, and these structures can be integrated between radiating elements in broad bandwidth antennas.

In this paper, two new three layer (stacked) Electromagnetic Band Gap structures are proposed, named as Stacked Electromagnetic Band Gap (SEBG) and Progressive Stack Electromagnetic Band Gap (PSEBG) structures. Its electromagnetic (EM) properties are determined by using Finite element method (FEM) based simulator and obtained results are compared with classical mushroom type electromagnetic band gap (MEBG) structure. Both SEBG and PSEBG structures proposed in this paper consists of two layers above the conducting ground plane; a lower layer, contains array of small MEBGs with square patches and an upper layer contains square planar MEBG structure. Vertical conducting stubs passing through substrate shorting all square patches in both the layers with conducting ground. Three EBG structures are exhibiting the property of forbidden band gap (FBG), where surface wave propagation is restricted. The FBG property helps in minimization of mutual coupling between array antennas when electromagnetic band gap structures are incorporated between array elements. In this paper, the level of coefficient of mutual coupling between array antenna in the presence of SEBG and PSEBG are investigated, obtained results are compared with classical MEBG results. The co-efficient of mutual coupling is reduced up to 12dB in the presence of proposed models.

EBG structures can greatly reduce mutual coupling effects between patch antennas by suppressing surface wave propagation in a specified frequency range. A two-annular rectangular slot EBG structure is proposed and its performance is analyzed. HFSS simulation results show that mutual coupling loss in a 2x2 patches system is reduced appreciably (10dB in the work frequency band 19.6~22GHz (K/Ka band)) compared with antenna without EBG structures. What’s more, the side effects on other performances, like reflection parameter and bandwidth, are so little that can be neglected. With this EBG structure loaded in antenna array, the systematic performance can also be improved.
