Abstract :
Convolution and interleaving of periodic electromagnetic band gap (EBG) elements is investigated to reduce the band-gap frequency for fixed periodicity. A 42% reduction in band gap frequency is obtained when compared to a simple square patch element. Furthermore, interleaving adjacent convoluted elements reduces the band gap frequency by 55% when compared to the solid patch.
