An antenna uses a photonic forbidden band (PFB) material in which, by default, a surface () for injecting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves in a resonance cavity of the antenna () has at least a width or a length of a diameter higher than or equal to the wavelength of the working frequency.

Antenna using a PBG (photonic band gap) material, and system and method using this antenna

The invention relates to an antenna for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves at a working frequency f, that comprises a resonator with a filtering () coating that covers the major portion of the upper face of a reflector () located inside a cavity (), the coating () being capable of removing all the electromagnetic waves having a frequency f, and propagating in a direction parallel to the upper face of the reflector, without removing all the electromagnetic waves having a frequency fand propagating in a direction perpendicular to the upper face of the reflector.

Antenna with resonator having a filtering coating and system including such antenna

A frequency multiband antenna includes a photonic bandgap material having at least one band gap, one single periodicity defect of the bandgap material so as to produce several narrow bandwidths within the at least one band gap of the bandgap material, and an excitation device capable of transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves within the narrow bandwidths.

Frequency multiband antenna with photonic bandgap material

A multibeam antenna includes: a photonic bandgap material () having at least one band gap; at least one periodicity defect so as to produce at least one narrow bandwidth inside the at least one band gap of the photonic bandgap material, and excitation elements (to) for enabling electromagnetic waves to be received inside the at least one narrow bandwidth. The excitation elements are mutually arranged so as to generate radiating spots (to) partly overlapping on one surface of the photonic bandgap material.

Multibeam antenna with photonic bandgap material

A system includes a device for focusing electromagnetic waves, and a multiple-beam antenna. The antenna includes: a photonic bandgap material () having at least one band gap, at least one periodicity defect () of the photonic bandgap material so as to produce at least one narrow bandwidth within the bandgap material, and excitation elements (to) for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves within the at least one narrow bandwidth, the elements being arranged relative to one another so as to produce overlapping radiating spots.

Multiple-beam antenna with photonic bandgap material

A broadband or multiband antenna for microwaves, optical transmission or mobile telephones in which a reflector plane and at least one radiating element disposed in the vicinity of the reflector plane are provided. An assembly of defective PFB material elements is superposed on the reflector plane and the radiating element. Each defective PFB material element is substantially plane, parallel to the reflector, and presents at least one characteristic of magnetic permeability, of dielectric permittivity, and/or of thickness in the direction perpendicular to the reflector that differs from one defective PFB material element to another. The assembly forms a leaky resonant cavity.
