Analysis of the Gap Bandwidth of some High Impedance Surfaces in the Microwave Range

Abstract:

This work numerically explores the relations between the positions and the widths of the frequency bandgaps that occur in some shielded high impedance surfaces and the geometrical dimensions of the structures. The reported parameterized results are useful for design issues and for circuit models conception and validation.
