Abstract

An electromagnetic band gap resonator antenna (ERA) with an extremely small footprint is presented. The proposed ERA has a peak measured gain of 15.6 dBi and an excellent measured 3dB gain-bandwidth of 27%. The four-layer composite superstructure used in this ERA takes the shape of a circular disc with the ground plane radius equal to that of the superstructure. Its footprint area is only 1.7λ₀² at the lowest operating frequency. The average measured aperture efficiency of this ERA is nearly 90%. The side lobe levels are well below-12 dB over most of the operating bandwidth and the cross polarization levels are below-17 dB.
