Abstract
A performance analysis was carried out on the mushroom-like electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure which is integrated with a microstrip patch antenna. Various configurations of the EBG structure embedded and stacked with the patch antenna were simulated and analysed. Depending on the EBG and patch configuration, the results indicated improvement in the gain, directivity, back lobe suppression and also beamwidth increment when integrated with a patch antenna operating at a frequency of 5.4Ghz.
