Analysis of Electric Fields Distribution by Using EBG Structure for Dielectric Heating Applications

This paper presents the analysis of electric field empowered by patch microstrip and surrounded with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) which is the principle of microstrip patch microstrip application with metamaterials. For the application of dielectric heating by applying shredded coconut as the load in the test and releasing out the electromagnetic wave at 2.45 GHz. From patch microstrip with the electromagnetic band gap (EBG) for distribution of electric field which passes dielectric load. To analyze the electric field of dielectric load to types of applicator revealed that the design of applicator by applying patch micro strip, the wave is able to distribute into the load but not over. For the design of applicator by applying the EBG and patch microstrip revealed that wave was able to distribute throughout the load and suitable for the dielectric heating, affect the electric field receive the heat equally and easy to design and suitable for the application in drying industry.
