Sectoral m -EBG Antenna with Multipolarization Capabilities for WiMAX Base Stations

Abstract
A novel multipolarized sectoral antenna on a metallic electromagnetic band gap (M-EBG) surface is investigated. The M-EBG structure behaves as a partially reflecting surface (PRS) and enhances the directivity of a simple radiating source. The use of metallic structures offers a new approach to industrial partners in order to reduce costs and to facilitate design techniques. By using double layers of M-EBG structure working on orthogonal polarizations as a superstrate with a single patch feeding by two ports, multipolarization operation is achieved. This antenna provides vertical, horizontal, 0°/90°and circular polarizations with a sectoral radiation pattern in the azimuth plane. M-EBG antennas with sectoral pattern are usually designed only for vertical polarization. In order to verify the results a Bipolar M-EBG Sectoral antenna prototype for WIMAX application~[5.15-5.35] GHz is realized and measured. Finally, we study the possibility to generate circular polarization.
