Abstract
This paper introduces high impedance Electromagnetic Bang Gap (EBG) structure and investigates the performance of rectangular
microstrip antenna embedded on a high impedance spiral EBG structure on ground plane. By loading EBG there is increase in
bandwidth of the proposed antenna when compared with conventional RMSA. There is a suppression of surface waves which improves
antennas radiation pattern and Back lobe level reduces.
Keywords: Rectangular Microstrip antenna, wide slit, Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure, bandwidth.

3. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
The bandwidth over return loss less than -10 dB for the
proposed antennas is measured. The measurements are taken
on Vector Network Analyzer (Rohde and Schwarz, Germany
make ZVK model 1127.8651). The variation of return loss
versus frequency of RMSA is as shown in Fig 5. From this
figure it is seen that, the antenna resonates very close to its
designed frequency of 5.99 GHz. The overall bandwidth of the
RMSA is 4.18%.The bandwidth is calculated by using the
equation,

4. CONCLUSIONS
A design technique for a high impedance EBG structure with
microstrip antenna is described. In this design technique, the
shape of the rectangular microstrip antenna is modified with
dual slit and then the ground plane is replaced by the spiral
EBG structure in order to enhance the bandwidth of the
microstrip. In addition, the design technique is simple and
easily realized with rectangular microstrip antenna fabrication,
making it suitable to various wireless communications
applications.
