Rectangular Microstrip Patch Antenna with Photonic Band Gap Crystal for 60 GHz Communications

Authors: R. N. Tiwari, P. Kumar, N. Bisht

In this paper, the design of rectangular microstrip antenna with 2-D photonic band gap crystal as substrate (dielectric substrate with regular cylindrical periodic air-gap) for 60 GHz applications, has presented. The photonic band gap structure is used to enhance the radiation efficiency and the bandwidth of the antenna. The periodic structures designed to open up frequency bands within which the propagation of electromagnetic waves is forbidden irrespective of the propagation direction. The design is optimized using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) based CST microwave studio simulator. The designed periodic air-gap rectangular microstrip patch antenna gives a bandwidth up to 20.53% for 60 GHz applications. Various parameters like directivity of the antenna, efficiency of the antenna etc. are also shown.
