Abstract

In this paper, design and development of a low profile, high gain dipole antenna using EBG ground plane as a reflector is presented. A broadband dipole antenna is designed and realized in planar form on an FR4 substrate. The feed gap of dipole antenna is modified to have broadband characteristics and low cross-polarization levels in radiation patterns. The mushroom- like Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) cell has been modified to get wideband electrical characteristics. For this, the cell via is shifted diagonally from center to increase its frequency band of operation. The dipole antenna is backed with EBG reflector to make it directional. Parametric studies for dipole, EBG cell and antenna with reflector are carried out. The parametric studies and optimized results are presented. The working frequency range of this antenna is 3.9–6.1 GHz. Antenna height is 0.05λ at lowest frequency of operation. This height is only 4% compared to height of antenna with conventional (PEC) reflector.
