Q2. Why is the antenna performance significantly degraded?
because of the strong capacitive coupling between the antenna and the antenna’s ground plane its performance is considerably degraded.
Q3. What is the dual benefit of the magneto-dielectric metamaterials?
It is shown that the design of EBG structures utilizing magneto-dielectrics has the dual benefit of improving band-gap rejection levels, while achieving size reduction.
Q4. What is the approach to obtain the resonant frequency?
The best approach is to construct a quarter wave coaxial resonator and then obtain the resonant frequency that is proportional to the square root of permeability and permittivity.
Q5. What is the effect of the AEMT on the band-gap?
utilizing magneto-dielectric materials one can achieve band-gap structures that are more compact and can produce better band-gap rejection levels.
