Abstract

We apply a new software package that was designed for the simulation of photonic crystal structures for designing a novel type of antenna with promising features. We illustrate the procedure for an antenna consisting of a dielectric block that is coated with two conducting plates. Instead of air holes that are usually used in photonic crystals, we insert metallic rods in the dielectric. As a result, we obtain interesting adaptive antenna.
