Abstract :
A new uniplanar compact electromagnetic bandgap (UC-EBG) structure is proposed in order to achieve a smaller unit cell operating at lower frequency stop band. Its design is detailed and an experimental result is presented. The property of the proposed UC-EBG is compared with the distorted uniplanar compact EBG (DUC-EBG). The application of the proposed UC-EBG is examined. A parametric study on various thicknesses of dielectric substrate is also discussed.
