Electromagnetic Band Gap

From above mentioned slot antennas, it is known that the printed wide-slot antenna may achieve a wide range bandwidth based on design of various special slots or stubs. Unfortunately, it maybe wastes a lot of time for antenna designers to find a suitable slot antenna structure according to a required operation bandwidth.
