In this paper an inset feed 60 GHz millimeter wave microstrip patch antenna is proposed for future high speed wireless communication systems. The performance of a conventional 60 GHz patch antenna compared with metamaterial-based 60 GHz antennas. The later employs three types (mushroom, cross and hexagonal) of Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) surfaces as a ground planes. The millimeter wave antenna employing the cross-shaped EBG give improved gain as compared to the rest of the antenna models. The 60 GHz antenna based on the mushroom type EBG present better efficiency due to the surface suppression by the ground plane. The proposed antennas can be used in future high speed wireless applications. Due to the very small size these antennas are suitable for medical implants operating in the unlicensed millimeter wave band.
