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.

This paper describes enhancements in the performance of four element microstrip antenna array. The conventional microstrip antenna array is producing gain equal to 6.81dB. With the introduction of U shape patch type electromagnetic band gap structure, the proposed microstrip antenna array is producing an improved gain of 20.33dB. It is producing reduced mutual coupling of -31.44, -36.41 and -31.62dB respectively. The radiation characteristics of the proposed microstrip antenna array are improved with appreciable decrease in back lobe radiation and increase in forward power. It is resonating at single band at 5.53GHz, producing an overall bandwidth of 109.45%, against 4.89% of conventional microstrip antenna array. Microstrip antenna arrays are designed using Mentor Graphics IE3D software and measured results are obtained using vector network analyzer.
