Abstract

In this paper, the effects of two dimensional photonic band gap crystals (electro- magnetic crystal) substrate on the performance of a rectangular microstrip patch antenna at THz (0.64{0.8 THz) frequency are simulated. Photonic crystal has been used as substrate material for high gain and highly directional resonant antenna. The bandwidth and gain of the designed antenna is 13.36% and 3.852 dB respectively which is very interesting result for this small dimension antennas. The simulation has been performed using CST Microwave Studio, which is a commercially available electromagnetic simulator based on finite difference time domain tech- nique.
