Abstract

The design and analysis of a compact printed Archimedean spiral electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure are presented for frequency shielding in microwave circuits, including antenna and bandpass filters. The EBG characterization resonating at 7.7 GHz is done through a performance matrix such as transmission and reflection coefficients and equivalent circuit modeling, which demonstrates excellent resonance stability. The EBG unit cell is investigated for achieving frequency rejection in the printed monopole-based ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna and bandpass filter circuits. By introducing the Archimedean EBG unit cell on the UWB antenna ground plane, dual-frequency rejection, at 7.4, and 7.7 GHz, was realized. Further, such structure is utilized in a multi-mode resonator (MMR) based UWB bandpass filter to attain band-notched functionality at 7.6 and 7.8 GHz with a maximum attenuation of -16.5, and -15.6 dB, respectively. The prototypes of the EBG-loaded UWB antenna and EBG-Loaded UWB filter are fabricated and characterized. Excellent agreement is achieved between simulated and measured results of both prototypes.
