Abstract

This project is to develop compact array antenna integrated with electromagnetic band gap or known as EBG to reduce mutual coupling between the arrays. The EBG structure has unique property such as the ability to suppress the propagation of surface wave. This structure frequently used as a part of antenna to improve the performance of the antenna especially to improve gain, efficiency, return loss and mutual coupling. In this project, microstrip patch antenna used because of the advantages such as cheap, easy to fabricate and easy to integrated with microwave circuit. It involves the investigation of microstrip patch array antenna performance when integrated with EBG. The research is to determined performance of the antenna whether there is an improvement in the antenna array element using EBG compared to the conventional antenna on mutual coupling, efficiency and gain. The simulation is using CST Microwave Studio. While, the fabrication will be use FR4 board as the substrate.
