Abstract :
In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve the gain of a wide-band antenna using two layers of frequency-selective surfaces. It is seen that using two layers it is possible to achieve flat transmission characteristics over a reasonable bandwidth. However with an actual antenna, the gain improvement has at present been achieved over only a small band. It is expected that with further optimization and possibly increasing the number of layers, wide-band gain enhancement can be achieved.
