A deep analysis of the directivity enhancement, due to the insertion of a simple linear antenna into a dielectric EBG, is presented. The operative frequency is chosen near a band-gap edge. The plane-wave expansion method is used in order to obtain the Bloch dispersion diagrams of infinite two-dimensional EBGs. A rigorous cylindrical-wave approach is used to analyze two-dimensional EBGs with finite size, excited by a line source. We apply these tools to the analysis of different emitting devices, and propose solutions to improve their performances.

Abstract
A deep analysis of the directivity enhancement, due to the insertion of a simple linear antenna into a dielectric EBG, is presented. The operative frequency is chosen near a band-gap edge. The plane-wave expansion method is used in order to obtain the Bloch dispersion diagrams of infinite two-dimensional EBGs. A rigorous cylindrical-wave approach is used to analyze two-dimensional EBGs with finite size, excited by a line source. We apply these tools to the analysis of different emitting devices, and propose solutions to improve their performances.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
