How to get Dispersion Diagram for UC-PBG in HFSS

Hi all,

I have designed rectangular microstip patch antenna operating at 2.4 GHz with FR4 as dielectric and metal ground plane. I want to study effect of EBG structure on the performance of this antenna.

I want to study simple UC-PBG structure in HFSS. How to design EBG structure for 2.4 GHz? (formulas)

Whether to use eigen mode solver or driven model or driven terminal solution type in HFSS.

I want to prove following properties of EBG
(1) When the incident wave is a surface wave (k²x + k²y ≤ k²0 , kz is purely imaginary), the EBG structures show a frequency band gap through which the surface wave cannot propagate for any incident angles and polarization states.

(2) When the incident wave is a plane wave (k² x + k²y ≤ k20 , kz has a real value), the reflection phase of the EBG structures varies with frequency, At a certain frequency the reflection phase is zero degrees, which resembles a perfect magnetic conductor that does not exist in nature.

Please help me....

Thank you

found some similar thread... but dont know if it is helpful to you

Patch antanna with EBG

Hi all,

I have designed rectangular microstip patch antenna operating at 2.4 GHz with FR4 as dielectric and metal ground plane. I want to study effect of EBG structure on the performance of this antenna.

Even after adding EBG structure around, I m not getting enough improvement in Bandwidth (f1-f2) (f1 & f2 are the frequencies where S11 in dB fall bellow -10 dB).. but after fabrication and testing i got lot of improvement.... So i m getting why it is not reflected in simulation software HFSS v.-11

please help me
