Finite element method for rigorous design of microwave devices using photonic band gap structures

In this paper, we present theoretical and experimental analyses of microwave devices using photonic band gap materials. These analyses are applied to design volumic or planar microwave filters. The experiments were conducted at 9-14 GHz to validate the concept which could be applied to millimeter frequency band (60 GHz) filters.
