DESIGN OF SQUARE MICROSTRIP PATCH MULTI BAND ANTENNA FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION USING EBG STRUCTURE

Application of electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure and its use in the design of antenna and microwave integrated circuits is becoming more attractive. The recent electromagnetic band-gap structure method is capturing more importance in antenna design due to its uniqueness properties to suppress the propagation of surface waves in microstrip patch antenna. In this paper a square microstrip antenna is designed and its performance parameters are compared with geometry designed on EBG structure. The square antenna of 29 mm x29 mm size is designed at 2.455 GHz and analysis is done using IE3D simulation software. The proposed work mainly focuses on modification of antenna using electronic band gap structure (EBG). The antenna parameters such as Return loss, VSWR, Gain and Bandwidth, with and without EBG are obtained using IE3D simulation tool. The Electromagnetic band-gap structures have been used to improve the performance of the gain of the antennas and radiation patterns. One of the main advantages of electromagnetic band-gap structure is its ability to suppress the surface wave current present on the microstrip antenna. Combining the square patch with EBG structure, the bandwidth of the antenna has been increased by 34.66%, and attained gain of 44.44% at resonant frequency around 2.4 GHz as compared to the antenna without EBG..
