Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the effect of Defected Ground Structure (DGS) in a Proximity Coupled Microstrip Patch Antenna (PCMA) and the effectiveness of using this structure in a PCMA with an Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure (EBG). The EBG structure used is a metallo-dielectric structure having a printed metallization with connected via ground plane. This manoeuvering of EBG enabled PCMA with a dumbbell shaped DGS results in a triple band operation at the frequencies used for satellite applications
