EBG enhanced antennas could advantageously replace conventional array antenna in Geo-synchronous global Earth coverage applications at S-band and lower frequencies. This new technology simplifies the antenna configuration and can potentially lead to lighter and cost effective solutions, by either eliminating or strongly simplifying the antenna beam forming network (BFN). Excellent agreement between the predictions and the measurements has been shown
