            Abstract : 
In this paper a new type of lambda/4 attenuator on silicon substrate is simulated, fabricated and measured. A lambda/4 open first stub is realized as an EBG (or PBG) cell. Reduction of the central ten frequency of the realized structures is about 35% comparing to the conventional case
