In this article, the printed reflectarray with/without electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) ground plate are compared. The result shows that incorporating EBG structure into reflectarray cannot always improve the gain as said in reference except in some special situation. The theoretical discussion is given as well as the specific design samples to verify the results. At the same time, the third‐dimension‐directional radiation mechanism for 2D EBG structure within bandgap is also discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
