Estudio de medios EBG basados en estructuras metálicas en forma de paralelepípedo

Abstract

In this paper microstrip lines with periodic metallic structures on both sides have been studied. The basic unit cell is a parallelepiped with different metallization at the edges. The effects on the transmission in a standard microstrip line have been analysed by using both experimental and simulation (CST Microwave Studio®) techniques, obtaining an EBG behaviour similar to the one obtained with mushroom-like structures. The proposed structures present advantages in band gap size. Furthermore, the response does not dependent on the number of rows at the sides of the microstrip line.
