In this lossy environment the power amplifier delivered an output power of 33.2 dBm with a supply voltage of 3.5 V.

To overcome several intrinsic limitations of the patch antenna such as narrow bandwidth, low gain, and degradation of radiation efficiency at higher frequencies, we propose a novel technique for gain and bandwidth enhancement based on the photonic band-gap (PBG) concept. The Ku-band prototype demonstrates over 3 times bandwidth improvement, and 1.6 dB higher gain or 45% increase in effective radiated power (ERP), compared with a regular patch with identical dimensions. System design issues such as co-site interference can also be alleviated by the improved beam patterns of the new PBG antenna.","PeriodicalId":226788,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings RAWCON 98. 1998 IEEE Radio and Wireless Conference (Cat.

Experimental measurements for the bowtie designed in the X-band are shown to agree well with the simulated predictions, especially the radiation patterns.
