Abstract

A simple method is proposed for obtaining a partially reflective surface with increasing reflection phase for use in wideband, low-profile electromagnetic band-gap resonator antennas. Using the proposed types of partially reflective surfaces and a perfect electric conductor ground, a wideband resonant cavity can be formed and hence a wideband resonant cavity antenna can be designed. The method to design the partially reflective surface is described and examples are given.
