Parametric Study and Analysis of Modified Electromagnetic Band Gap in Frequency Notching of Ultra-Wide Band Antenna

Abstract:

This paper presents parametric study of dual band notch ultra wideband (UWB) antenna using modified electromagnetic band gap. The Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) comprises of two strip patched and an edge-located via with respect to ground for dual notch band. The study was presented in order to have an improved knowledge of EBG characteristics and its effect on the notching band of a small squared ultra wideband antenna of size 24 by 31 mm² dual band notch using HFSS software. The antenna operates within the return loss (s11< -10dB) 3.2 to 12.3 GHz. The simulation results show that the notched band between 4.57 – 4.99 GHz and 7.96 – 8.32 GHz corresponding to WLAN and ITU respectively was achieved. The effect of gap distance between the field line and EBG was demonstrated as well and the position of via with respect to the ground as a means for notched band centre frequency tuning. The antenna could be considered a good candidate for any UWB applications that must avoid narrow band interference. The research gives ideas on the best placement position of EBG structure along field line in UWB antenna frequency notching technique.
