Abstract :
We demonstrate two antennas that use two different electromagnetic bandgap materials. The first is a thin, high gain resonator antenna formed from a three-dimensional electromagnetic bandgap material and a metallic ground plane. The second structure is a defect-based horn antenna made from a two-dimensional electromagnetic bandgap material.
