A novel combination of PBG cell for achieving HPF, BPF, and LPF in an electro-optic system

摘要

In this paper, a novel Frequency Division Multiplexer (FDM) using Photonic Band Gap (PBG) cell combination concept circuit is proposed for achieving a 3-band FDM. The preliminary 3-band FDM structure is the combination of three PBG cells. The observable frequency response experimental results are presented. We also simulate and measure all the scattering parameters for the novel 3-band FDM. The disclosed method in this paper demonstrates the possibility for applying photonic bandgap structure in designing a frequency division device.
