Summary:
Compact coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna was designed by incorporating a one-dimensional electromagnetic bandgap (1-D EBG) structure in the radiator. The bandgap transition frequency of the 1-D EBG structure was designed to be a little bit higher than the antenna operating frequency. Slow wave characteristics of EBG cell below the bandgap region was utilized to reduce the size of the monopole antenna. The fabricated 1-D EBG monopole antenna exhibited the 58%-reduced size and comparable performance with large reference monopole antenna.
