Microstrip Antenna with Defected Ground Plane Structure as a Sensor for Landmines Detection
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 4, 27-39, 2008
Abstract
A proposed sensor for landmines detection consists of two parallel microstrip antennas placed on the same ground plane and with defected ground structure between them has been investigated. The microstrip patch array with defected ground structure has the advantage of a low mutual coupling compared with the classic one. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) is used to simulate the sensor for landmines detection.
