  In this paper we have studied the characteristics of mushroom-like Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure and performance of a low profile antenna over it. Afterward, a novel EBG surface is presented by some modifications in mushroom-like EBG structure. This structure, which has more compact electrical dimensions, is analyzed and its electromagnetic properties are derived. Results show that resonant frequency of this novel structure is about 15.3% lower than the basic structure with the same size. Moreover, the novel EBG structure has been used as the ground plane of antenna. Its application has improved radiation of a low profile dipole antenna. The antenna performance over the new EBG ground plane is compared with the conventional mushroom-like EBG structure. Simulation results show that using this slot loaded EBG surface, results in 13.68dB improvement in antenna return loss, in comparison with conventional mushroom-like EBG, and 33.87dB improvement in comparison with metal ground plane. Besides, results show that, EBG ground planes have increased the input match frequency bandwidth of antenna. Manuscript profile

  In this paper, a wideband printed antenna over an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface is introduced which can be utilized for wireless applications such as WLAN, WiMAX, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In the proposed structure, a planar AMC surface as the antenna ground plane is used to direct the radiation pattern of the antenna, and enhancing the impedance bandwidth. The proposed antenna design is composed of a pair of printed microstrip elements fed by an E-shape feed line for coupling the elements. The bandwidth of the designed antenna includes from 4.94 GHz to 6.9 GHz with a return loss of less than -10dBforlinear polarization in C-band. The rhombic-shape AMC unit cell indicates the bandwidth of 5.24-7.15 GHz for the ±90˚ reflection phase. By adding the AMC surface into the printed antenna, a wideband structure with acceptable miniaturization and gain enhancement to 7.25 dBi is achieved. The simulated results of the antenna’s impedance properties are performed by using full-wave simulators of HFSS and CST. Also, two-element array of the proposed design are investigated for different polarizations. Based on the obtained results, the operating bandwidth includes the frequency range from5.18GHz to 6.81 GHz and the isolation between the array elements is less than -22 dB. For this purpose, the antenna arrays can be applied for MIMO systems. Manuscript profile
