title = "Metamaterials-based planar and cylindrical directive antennas",
abstract = "This paper presents the application of metamaterial surfaces on the design of planar and cylindrical directive antennas. Planar metal-backed metamaterial surfaces with negative reflection phase values are proposed as ground planes in a high gain resonant cavity antenna configuration. The antenna is formed by the metamaterial ground plane (MGP) and a superimposed metallodielectric electromagnetic band gap (MEBG) array. By employing MGPs with negative reflection phase values, the planar antenna profile is reduced to subwavelength values (less than λ/6) whilst maintaining high directivity. Furthermore, an omni directional cylindrical antenna consisting of a cylindrical MEBG surface and a simple dipole feed is presented. Prototype antennas have been fabricated and tested experimentally.",
