Abstract :
In this paper we present a new antenna design combining electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) antenna with a frequency selective surface (FSS) structure. A dual layer rectangular dipole array is used as a FSS structure in order to enhance the directivity bandwidth. The antenna has been realised and the measurements confirm the directivity bandwidth enhancement.
