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.

AbstractA dual band-notched MIMO/Diversity antenna is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna ensures notches in WiMAX band (3.3–3.6 GHz) besides WLAN band (5–6 GHz). Mushroom Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) arrangements are employed for discarding interfering frequencies. The procedure followed to attain notches is antenna shape independent with established formulas. The electromagnetic coupling among two narrowly set apart Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) monopoles is reduced by means of decoupling bands and slotted ground plane. Monopoles are 90° angularly parted with steps on the radiator. This aids to diminish mutual coupling and also adds in the direction of impedance matching by long current route. S

This article demonstrates the alleviation of mutual coupling of a simple and low-cost four-element microstrip array antenna by loading I-shaped slot-type electromagnetic band gap structure in the ground plane. FR-4 glass epoxy is used as dielectric substrate. Moreover, the proposed array antenna shows a better performance in terms of multi-band resonance. The antenna is resonating at four frequencies and a virtual size reduction of 78.48% is obtained. The designed array antenna possesses directional radiation properties. Mentor Graphics IE3D software is used to design and simulate the designed antennas and the measured results are obtained using vector network analyser.

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.
