Meandered UC-EBG structure for a reduction of the mutual coupling in a patch antenna array
نویسندگان
چکیده
A meandered uniplanar compact electromagnetic bandgap structure is proposed. Meandered microstrip lines between adjacent cells are used to increase the equivalent inductance. As a result, the dimension of the proposed EBG structure is more compact and its frequency band-gap is wider than that of the conventional uniplanar EBG structure. Two patch arrays with and without an EBG structure were designed, fabricated, and tested to validate the performance of the proposed EBG structure. The measured results demonstrated that a mutual coupling reduction of 4 dB is achievable in a patch array with the proposed EBG structure.

متن کاملMutual Coupling Reduction in Patch Antenna Arrays Using a Planar Compact EBG Structure
An important issue in antenna array design is reduction of mutual coupling. In microstrip antennas this reduction can be achieved by using electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures. These structures prevent the propagation of surface waves on the substrate of a microstrip antenna array.
