            Abstract : 
A novel planar photonic band-gap (PBG) scheme is presented for size reduction, the proposed structure can be considered as a kind of distorted uniplanar compact-PBG (DUC-PBG) while being even more compact in size. Its design is detailed in this letter, and several experimental results are presented, the properties of the proposed DUC-PBG are examined, as compared with that of the conventional UC-PBG.
