Directivity of an antenna embedded inside a Fabry-Perot cavity: Analysis and design

The enhancement of directivity of a monopole located in a Fabry-Perot type cavity is studied. The analysis is based on the response of the cavity, excited from its inside by electromagnetic waves. To validate the proposed antenna, an experimental prototype is designed, fabricated, and measured. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
