It is found through a vector integral-equation analysis and the reciprocity theorem that the
gain of a microstrip antenna can be greatly enhanced with a photonic band-gap material …

The radiation patterns of dipole antennas on three‐dimensional photonic crystal substrates
have been measured and calculated with the finite‐difference‐time‐domain method. The …

The characteristics of the plane-wave incidence on a multilayer structure with planar
periodic material blocks are presented. The layered media and the implanted blocks are …

The radiation patterns of a slot antenna placed on a photonic band gap crystal have been
measured. We used a layer-by-layer photonic band gap crystal having a three-dimensional …

Electromagnetic wave propagation in periodic dielectric media is analogous to electron-
wave propagation in crystals. From solid-state theory, we know that semiconductors allow …

(57) ABSTRACT A diamond lattice structure is employed as a ground plane in an array
antenna system. The ground plane structure reflects incident energy radiated by the antenna …

A Generalized Network Formulation for the analysis electromagnetic diffraction from a
photonic crystal is proposed. The Finite Element method is employed to compute the …

We fabricated two-dimensional (2D) InP photonic band-gap crystals by reactive ion etching
(RIE) with a SiCl 4/Ar inductively coupled plasma (ICP) chemistry, and characterized their …

We present the development of a novel ultrawideband antenna structure that uses photonic
crystals as a substrate to reflect the energy normally trapped within a substrate into free …

Finite difference time domain is a powerful numerical method. We review our modeling and
design of optical gratings and 2D photonic crystals, aided by the recently developed quartic …
