With the advance of 5G network, antennas are required to meet better performance as it’s the key element of 5G network. Meta-surface structure has been demonstrated to be an effective method to improve the performances of an antenna. Whereas, most of the meta-surface structures cannot be applied to 5G applications properly according to the recent research. In this paper, we propose two novel meander-perforated plane (MPP) electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures which are named TMPP-EBG and GMPP-EBG. The meander-shape slot of TMPP and GMPP is etched on the top and ground layer respectively. The two novel MPP-EBG structures can be applied to millimeter-wave 5G spectrum from 24GHz to 28GHz. Compared with the conventional mushroom-like EBG structure, the simulated results presented that TMPP-EBG enhances the bandwidth of S 21 from 1GHz to 2.5GHz with the same size and GMPP-EBG achieves 14% size reduction with the same resonant frequency.
