Abstract :
An electromagnetic band-gad (ERG) magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna with enhanced gain is proposed for intelligent radio-over-fiber systems. With the ERG etched around the radiator patch, gain enhancement is achieved without deteriorating the previous impedance bandwidth of more than 33% from 50 to 70 GHz. The maximum gain is increased from 7.7 to 11.7 dBi. Many advantages, such as low cost, easy fabrication, wide bandwidth and high gain are presented.
