Woodpile EBG structure for millimeter wave imaging enhancement

An application of the high gain woodpile Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) antenna for millimeter wave imaging at 95 GHz is presented. The EBG antenna has its advantages over other conventional millimeter wave antennas due to its low profile and costs. The antenna system evaluation and its feasibility study in millimeter wave imaging are demonstrated via numerical simulation and measurements.
