Respuesta EBG en microondas: ¿efecto Bragg o simplemente resonadores?

Abstract

A rigorous consideration of the EBG structures filtering effect at the microwave frequency range will be performed in this paper. We will show that in that frequency range, the periodic structure filtering (or Bragg effect) and the self-resonance of the different cells involved are tuned approximately at the same frequencies, mixing their influences in the final filter response. Both effects are defined by different geometrical laws and probably this is the main reason not to have a standard design method for a given filter requirements using these technologies.
