Periodic structures

Due to the realization of growing demand for larger bandwidth, high capacity RF and microwave devices as well as better efficiency in the field of wireless technologies new technologies of designing such devices are being reported all over the world.

On the consequence of such latest technologies realizing microwave filters and antennas with Planar Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures are one of the best of them.
Using Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures (EBGS) is a new technology to improve the performances of existing RF active and passive devices. The technological design is very simple then any other devices – it is just made upon a dielectric substrate with copper coating on both sides. By etching these copper coating: Transmission line (T-line) on the upper side and EBGS on the ground plan are made (a typical design is shown in figure - a); which shows the performance like stopband, passband and LPF filters (figure – b is a result of a typical design).
