Abstract: This paper reports the Rectangular Microstrip Antenna with Swatik Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) structure on the ground plane. The performance of the proposed antenna are compared with the Conventional Rectangular Microstrip antenna (CRMA).It is observed that there is significant increase of bandwidth and better suppression of back radiation than the Conventional Rectangular Microstrip Antenna. The antenna operating in frequency range of 5-15 GHz which is one of the most usable for wireless application such as WLAN, Wimax etc..

Keywords: Rectangular microstrip antenna, swastik electromagnetic band gap (EBG), bandwidth.
