Abstract

The design of a bandwidth‐enhanced uniplanar MPA using EBG‐AMC is presented.The designed structure with neither via holes nor multilayer substrates yields bandwidth enhancement still with useful radiation pattern values in its band. Two prototypes, a MPA and a PA with uniplanar EBG‐AMC (PA_U‐EBG‐AMC), are manufactured and characterized based on return losses and radiation pattern. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
