This paper presents a two-dimensional infinite dipole array system with a mushroom-like high-impedance surface (HIS) ground plane with wide-angle scanning capability in the E-plane. The unit cell of the proposed antenna array consists of a dipole antenna and a four-by-four HIS ground. The simulation results show that the proposed antenna array can achieve a wide scanning angle of up to 65° in the E-plane with an excellent impedance match and a small S11. Floquet mode analysis is utilized to analyze the active impedance and the reflection coefficient. Good agreement is obtained between the theoretical results and the simulations. Using numerical and theoretical analyses, we reveal the mechanism of such excellent wide scanning properties. For the range of small scanning angles, these excellent properties result mainly from the special reflection phase of the HIS ground, which can cause the mutual coupling between the elements of the real array to be compensated by the mutual coupling effect between the real array and the mirror array. For the range of large scanning angles, since the surface wave (SW) mode could be resonantly excited by a high-order Floquet mode TM−1,0 from the array and since the SW mode could be converted into a leaky wave (LW) mode by the scattering of the array, the radiation field from the LW mode is nearly in phase with the direct radiating field from the array. Therefore, with help from the special reflection phase of the HIS and the designed LW mode of the HIS ground, the antenna array with an HIS ground can achieve a wide-angle scanning performance.

In this paper we have investigated printed monopole antennas, which is basically a printed micro strip antenna with etched ground plane for multi-band applications. In particular we have fabricated and tested printed monopole antennas for L-band and S-band applications. Printed rectangular monopole antennas are studied first for L-band applications. In high performance aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, missile and consumer electronics applications, where weight, cost, performance, ease of installation, and aerodynamic profile are constraints, low profile antennas may be required. Presently there are many other government and commercial applications, such as mobile radio and wireless communications that have similar specification. To meet these requirements, micro strip patch antennas can be used. These antennas are low profile, conformable to planar and non planar surfaces, simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In this thesis mainly we have designed Rectangular printed monopole antenna and U-shape Printed monopole antennas for L-band and S-bands applications. The final structures are presented in this report after doing an extensive simulation study and analysis and presented relevant results.
