Abstract
This work presents an application of a planar electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure with a perspective product implementation in the back of the mind. The focus is on the integration of such structure under the constraint of space and system coexistence. It is discovered that it is possible to achieve simultaneously both the enhancement of the antenna radiation efficiency and the shrinking of its dimensions, while making the device more resilient to out-of-band electromagnetic interference (EMI). The patterning of the ground plane allows, in fact, to effectively suppress higher-order resonances (alternatively, parallel plate noise) and decrease the radiation efficiency of the structure forbidding higher-order modes to propagate and subsequently be diffracted by the ground plane.
