Abstract :
The design of a rectangular microstrip applicator combined with periodic structures in order to obtain bandwidth enhancement is presented. The simulated results show that a significant improvement in bandwidth is achieved. The applicator has bandwidth of 2.5 % and 6 % respectively without and with periodic structures.
