Abstract
A small EBG resonator antenna (1.62λ 0×1. 62λ 0×λ 0/4 in size) with specially-located PEC sidewalls to close the resonant cavity is proposed to achieve maximum directivity. An in-phase highly-reflecting surface is installed a quarter-wavelength above the PEC ground plane. For this small EBG resonator antenna, 13.5dBi measured directivity and 11dBi peak gain are obtained at 11.6GHz.
