In the preceding chapter, the surface wave band gap of EBG structures was used to enhance the performance of microstrip patch antennas. Another important property of EBG structures is the phase ...
These are mounted above a printed-circuit-board (PCB) ground plane. The matching system and antenna selection is accomplished ...
It covers a range of examples of poor design, from having ground fill underneath an antenna, to having metal near the antenna, to putting dielectric materials near or on top of the antenna.
