Abstract
We study the radiation patterns of antennas placed on top and inside three dimensional photonic band-gap (PBG) materials. The Finite Difference Time D omain method has been used for the calculation of the radiation patterns. M easurements are in good agreement with theoretical results. The different f actors influencing the patterns (position, height, and frequency) have been studied.
