Abstract :
In this paper, we specifically consider the performance of printed antennas embedded within the magnetic photonic crystals (MPC) structure. As part of this process, we develop and implement Green´s functions for multilayered anisotropic media and employ them in the context of the moment method (MoM) to evaluate the printed dipole currents. As is shown, miniature dipole arrays can be realized with significant gain and narrow beamwidths.
