Abstract
An antenna in a metallic photonic bandgap structure consisting of metallic wires embedded in a dielectric host medium is considered. An explicit metho d is developed to quickly calculate the radiation pattern for arch an anten na system. The influence of the dielectric constant and the location of the dielectric-air interface on the radiation pattern is studied. Numerical re sults for the directivity and radiation pattern are presented and compared with those obtained by the finite-difference time-domain method (C) 2000 Jo hn Wiley & Sons, Inc.
