Summary

Background

Antenna designs have experienced enormous advances in the past several decades and they are still undergoing monumental developments. Many new technologies have emerged in the modern antenna design arena and one exciting breakthrough is the discovery/development of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures. The applications of EBG structures in antenna designs have become a thrilling topic for antenna scientists and engineers. This is the central focus of this book.

The recent explosion in antenna developments has been fueled by the increasing popularity of wireless communication systems and devices. From the traditional radio and TV broadcast systems to the advanced satellite system and wireless local area networks, wireless communications have evolved into an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Antennas play a paramount role in the development of modern wireless communication devices, ranging from cell phones to portable GPS navigators, and from the network cards of laptops to the receivers of satellite TVs. A series of design requirements, such as low profile, compact size, broad bandwidth, and multiple functionalities, keep on challenging antenna researchers and propelling the development of new antennas.

Progress in computational electromagnetics, as another important driving force, has substantially contributed to the rapid development of novel antenna designs. It has greatly expanded the antenna researchers' capabilities in improving and optimizing their designs efficiently. Various numerical techniques, such as the method of moments (MoM), finite element method (FEM), and the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, have been well developed over the years.
