This paper provides a study on designing Monopole Antenna with and without Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) technique. The antennas were designed and simulated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) microwave studio. The substrate of the antenna was fabricated using a substrate of FR4 with dielectric constant and height of 4.30 and 1.6 mm respectively. The conventional monopole antenna is added with 3X3 array matrices squares which is size is 3 mm x 3 mm stands with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures. The results show that the monopole antenna with EBG structures has better performance. The constructions of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures contribute better basic parameter of the monopole antenna such as return loss, bandwidth and size reducing. The minimum specification of return loss from simulated result is -lOdB cutoff.
