Abstract :
This paper introduces a new model of high gain sectoral metallic Electromagnetic Band Gap antenna used to communicate with mobile vehicles such as cars, trains, etc. This antenna, which is dedicated to base stations, aims at providing high data rate for passengers so that they can connect to Internet during their travel using mobile WiMAX technology. The proposed antenna is realized. Measurements validate simulation results.
