Analysis of Different Defect Configurations in CEBGStructures for Directive Patterns Arezou Edalati, Tayeb A. Denidni, and Halim Boutayeb INRS-EMT, University of Quebec, Montreal, Canada.
CEBG principle • CEBG: Cylindrical electromagnetic band gap, • Radially and circularly periodic, • Feed in the centre, • Present pass-band and stop-band to cylindrical EM wave, • applying a defect reconfigurable directive pattern, • Defect can be create by using active element
EBG structure CEBG Structure
Lw w a Active components (ex.: Diodes) Reconfigurable EBG structure • Previous work: applying horn-shape defect for reconfigurable directive pattern • Advantage: 360 degree turning of the radiation pattern • draw back: need a lot of diodes (all the wires have to loaded with active element and more power supply CEBG antenna with horn-shape defect
Solution1previous work • structure composed of discontinuous metallic wires, defects consisting of continuous wires. • Advantage: Reduction the power supply dc current by 75% • Drawback: Narrowband Number of diode is the same
Directivity of different configuration • far-field proprieties are investigated through an examination of the two-dimensional directivity • Ez is the transverse component of the total electric field in the far filed region, calculated with the FDTD method
Radiation Pattern Horn Defect 1
Radiation Pattern Defect 2 Defect 3
Radiation Pattern Defect 4 Defect 5
Conclusion • The best defect configuration is Defect1 in term of radiation pattern, directivity and band width • 60% reduction of active element and power supply compare to Horn configuration • They have almost the same band width
