Design of Sectoral Antennas Using a Metallic EBG Structure and Multiple Sources Feeding for Base Station Applications
This work aims to study and design base station antennas with metallic electromagnetic band gap (EBG) materials able to create a sectoral radiation pattern presenting at least a 60∘ beamwidth. The use of metallic structures offers a new approach to industrial partners seeking to reduce costs and fac...

| Summary: | This work aims to study and design base station antennas with metallic electromagnetic band gap (EBG) materials able to create a sectoral radiation pattern presenting at least a 60∘ beamwidth. The use of metallic structures offers a new approach to industrial partners seeking to reduce costs and facilitate design procedures. A new method allowing the improvement of both the directivity and the bandwidth by using a printed antenna array is studied. |
