Abstract
This paper presents a novel design of a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator antenna with a wide gain bandwidth in X band. The bandwidth enhancement of the antenna is attributed to the positive reflection phase gradient of an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure, which is constructed by the combination of two complementary frequency selective surfaces (FSSs). To explain well the design procedure and approach, the EBG structure is modeled as an equivalent circuit and analyzed using the Smith Chart. Experimental results show that the antenna possesses a relative 3 dB gain bandwidth of 28%, from 8.6 GHz to 11.4 GHz, with a peak gain of 13.8 dBi. Moreover, the gain bandwidth can be well covered by the impedance bandwidth for the reflection coefficient ( S 11) below -10 dB from 8.6 GHz to 11.2 GHz.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
