چکیده

Photonic bandgap (PBG) antennas consist of printed elements on perforated (usually periodic) substrates and have shown improved performance over uniform substrates. More specifically, PBGs can increase gain and bandwidth and reduce loss. However, design approaches for these antennas have yet to be developed and furthermore there is great interest for a better understanding of bandgap structures and more generally for frequency selective volumes.
