Abstract :
In this paper a novel dual band EBG based on the conventional double square patch EBG but with more band flexibility is presented combined with a small antenna aimed at the automotive market where antennas may be placed on the metal bodywork. Multifrequency band flexibility for the UMTS 1.9 GHz band, WLAN 2.45 GHz band, WiFi at 5.15 GHz and 5.825 GHz and V2X 5.8 GHz band is achieved. The unit cell size measures 0.15λx0.15λ at the lowest operating frequency for the reflection phase bandgap.
