Abstract

A wideband and high-gain electromagnetic band-gap resonator antenna for X-band operation is presented in this paper. A dual-layer partially reflective surface with a wide frequency band from 8.3 to 11 GHz is proposed to enhance the 3-dB gain bandwidth of a simple planar antenna. The measured results indicate that the proposed antenna possesses a relative 3-dB gain bandwidth of about 33.33%, from 7.95 to 11.13 GHz, with a maximum gain of 13.57 dBi. Moreover, the measured impedance bandwidth is about 35.53%, from 7.8 to 11.17 GHz, which fairly covers the 3-dB gain bandwidth. Hence, the proposed structure surpasses conventional techniques for widening the 3-dB gain bandwidth.
