Abstract
A triple-band planar electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure used for gain enhancement and wideband radar cross section reduction (RCSR) of antenna is presented in this paper. Three band-gaps of an EBG structure are realized by introducing two pla-nar spiral inductances on a planar EBG structure. An equivalent model of EBG is given to further understand the formation of three band-gaps. The proposed EBG is placed around antenna units and arrays to calculate the affection of the RCS and the gain. Due to the band-gaps of the EBG structure, RCS of antennas is reduced, and the gain of antennas is enhanced. Results show that the RCS is reduced as much as 20 dB from 9 GHz to 21 GHz, and both of bandwidth and gain of antennas can be slightly enhanced. Two antenna units operating at 8.6 GHz are fabricated and measured to verify the correctness of simulation. Measured and simulated results are in good agreement.
