Synopsis

This paper deals with the design of circular microstrip antennas etched on 2D electromagnetic band gap (EBG) substrates for 5G applications. The obtained results for the FR2 NR band (at 28 GHz) show that this alternative will allow overcoming many limitations such as narrow bandwidth, low gain/directivity and potential decrease in radiation pattern due to the presence of surface waves. A good agreement was found with data available in the literature.
