1-D photonic bandgap resonator antenna

This paper presents a theoretical method used to realize a I-D photonic bandgap (PBG) resonator antenna. Studies in the frequency and space domain were made to determine the properties of the material. Then a 1-D PBG resonator antenna was designed and some characteristics of the antenna were shown as the radiation pattern, the linear, and the circular polarization. The results show that such a device permits us to obtain high gain with a very thin structure. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
