Periodically-loaded microstrip line structures with slow-wave and bandstop behaviours

Abstract

In the project, PBG cells are proposed on the microstrip line itself. Perforation on transmission line is a potential solution to these problems. One-dimensional (1-D) microstrip PBG cells of different types of periodic design patterns with finite cells will be presented. The material used in the simulation of the filter is Roger's RT/duroid 6010. Nevertheless, the simulation tool used in this project is the full wave Sonnet em simulator version 9.53.
