Abstract :
In this paper, a configuration is proposed to improve the performance of CPW antennas placed over an EBG material for dual band on body antenna applications. The aim was to improve the performance of such type of antennas by varying the position of the EBG with respect to the antenna. Simulation results show that the gain of the antenna is improved over the required frequency bands.
