A NOVEL UNIPLANAR COMPACT EBG INCORPORATED WITH INTERDIGITAL STRUCTURE

摘要

A novel uniplanar electromagnetic Band-Gap (EBG) scheme is presented for size reduction, the proposed structure can be considered as an ameliorated uniplanar compact EBG (UC-EBG) incorporated with interdigital structure which enlarges the fringe capacitance to compress the overall size of unit cell. Its design is detailed in this article and several simulation and experimental results are presented, the properties of the proposed ID-UC-EBG are examined when compared with that of the conventional UC-EBG.
