Abstract
A full-duplex system is realised using dual EBG isolated rectangular spiral antennas and its performance is compared with the same full-duplex system using a circulator and a single spiral antenna element. The new antenna system consists of two antennas one with RHCP and the another one with LHCP implemented on a single substrate. Two columns of EBG is placed between the two antennas to improve the isolation. At the operating frequency of 3.2 GHz, the antenna configuration has nearly 31 dB isolation. For the identical baseband input power, the full-duplex system utilising dual spiral antenna configuration exhibits 9 dB higher isolation than the circulator based full-duplex system.
