Review of electromagnetic-bandgap technology and applications

This paper reviews the primary application areas of electromagnetic-bandgap (EBG) technology at microwave and (sub)millimeter-wave frequencies. Examples of EBG configurations in the microwave region are shown, including array antennas, high-precision GPS, mobile telephony, wearable antennas, and diplexing antennas. In the sub-millimeter-wave region, a 500 GHz dipole configuration and a novel heterodyne mixer are shown. Some emphasis is also placed on EBG waveguides, high-impedance planes (artificial magnetic conductors, AMCs), resonators, and filters. As most fundamental components will be available in EBG technology, a fully integrated receiver could be developed in order to take full advantage of this technology. True integration of passive and active components can now begin to materialize using EBG technology.
