Summary:
We present a novel Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) cell which is easily fabricated on standard PCB material and can be used where space is at a premium. The proposed EBG structure was designed and developed to provide two stop bands at 4.24 GHz-5 GHz and 9.2 GHz-10.2 GHz on standard FR4. The size of a 5 x 5 cells structure is 35 mm x 35 mm and provides 10 dB attenuation across the surface. We also arranged sixteen proposed electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) elements in two columns embedded between two radiating patches for suppression of the surface wave. A 10 dB suppression is observed from the result. It demonstrates an excellent performance for mutual coupling reduction.
