Further, the C-slotted mushroom-type EBG unit cell is coupled with a microstrip line using a novel groove-coupling technique to design a notch filter. The arrangement has achieved in the reduction of the electrical size of the mushroom type EBG unit cell by 46:15% and create a stop band suppression of -12 dB. The proposed EBG is applied to notch a narrow band centered at 5:2 GHz along with an ultra-wideband antenna. The far field gain of the antenna is suppressed by -5:8 dBi along the direction of its major lobe at 5:2 GHz. The overall size of the antenna system is 19x27x1:6mm3 which is compact. The performance of the antenna is validated from the simulation and measured results.}, type={Article}, title={Modified Groove Coupled Compact EBG Unit Cell as Notch Filter in a UWB Antenna}, URL={http://czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/115199/PDF/35_2020.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ijet.2020.131872}, keywords={EBG, Groove Feed, UWB Antenna, Band Notch}, }
