Abstract

In this paper, a triangular patch microstrip antenna on the substrate material of a photonic crystal is designed and analyzed. The triangular shaped patch antennas are preferably used for research work because of its smaller coverage area attributes, however, similar to rectangular patch. The photonic crystal, due to band gap and periodicity of dielectric media is used as substrate for high gain, low return loss and reduction of back and side lobes. The designed antenna resonates at about 9 GHz with return loss S_11 = -21. 59dB for the center location of the feed. The simulation has been performed by using high frequency structure simulator (HFSS) which is based on finite element method technique.
