Abstract [en]
Wireless communication technology evolves to meet current needs, focusing on antenna size reduction for smaller, multi-frequency devices. This research introduces a novel approach to miniaturizing a multiband Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) reflector using a Double Interdigitated Coplanar Waveguide (DICPW) structure. The mushroom-patterned EBG unit cell, employing a double interdigital technique based on a Coplanar Waveguide (CPW), achieves a significantly slower wave on the transmission line. The unit cell size can be reduced from lambda/2 to lambda /8, allowing control over the second to fourth resonance frequencies. Engineered for a fundamental frequency of 1.8 GHz (LTE), the proposed EBG unit cell supports frequency ranges of 2.45 GHz (WLAN), 4.3 GHz (Altimeter), and 5.2 GHz (WLAN). Integrating this EBG reflector with a dipole antenna at the same frequency results in directional radiation patterns and gains of 8.29 dBi, 8.76 dBi, 8.55 dBi, and 8.22 dBi at resonance frequencies. The innovative reflector, with improved gain and compact dimensions, is relevant to cube satellite and wireless communication systems with versatile multiband frequency requirements.
