Abstract :
In this paper, the design of a uniplanar-compact electromagnetic band-gap (UC-EBG) aperture coupled millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antenna on low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) dense substrate is presented. The simulated results for the antenna with and without the UC-EBG are discussed to show the advantages coming from the use of UC-EBG. Using this approach, a new UC-EBG dielectric resonator antenna was designed and simulated. The obtained results show good performance in terms of back-lobe radiation reduction.
