Abstract

A design of microstrip photonic band gap (PBG) filter is presented in this paper. The band reject filter is compact in structure and provides accurate band gap. The proposed filter has a periodic configuration; the impedance distribution over the length of each period is varied according to a designated sinusoidal function. Both theoretical and experimental results indicate that a bandstop filter with an extremely wide bandwidth can be achieved. Detailed analysis of the frequency response of the PBG filter is carried out in this paper.
