Abstract :
In this paper, a planar antenna for application in 3G and 3.5G mini cell application is presented. The antenna is based on the use of Extraordinary Transmission principle commonly used in IR and THz regime downscaled to the microwave frequency region. Full Wave FDTD simulations with in-house codes as well as measurement results are presented, showing good agreement. The resulting antenna offers competitive parameters with a size reduction when compared to similar commercial models.
