Abstract :
This paper presents an experimental validation of a novel antenna system called `electromagnetic band gap matrix antenna´. The theoretical concept is based on the equivalent radiating surface approach and the antenna design is inspired from the electromagnetic band gap antennas. In this paper, an experimental validation is demonstrated to validate the theoretical concept of the antenna and several electromagnetic performances such as the low mutual coupling and the beam steering.
