2D Electrically Tuneable EBG Integrated Circuits

摘要

Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structures exhibit large continuous operational regions as a function of frequency over which they will not allow a signal to propagate. A subclass of bandstop filters, EBG structures 'stop' a signal from passing through by having signals not propagate (vs. some other means of signal rejection, like reflection) in abeyance of Maxwell's Equations. Typically, EBG performance is achieved by modulating the geometric properties of an electromagnetic-guided or radiating structure so as to create a periodicity which induces the EBG and as such is not tuneable 1) if implemented as integrated circuits (IC) or printed circuit boards (PCB).
