Abstract

In this paper, a multi-layered mushroom-type electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is proposed. A double layer two via EBG (DLTV EBG) structure is designed at 1.65 GHz. The proposed DLTV-EBG structure consists of a two-layer dielectric substrate, which reduces the lateral sizes due to a multilayer topology. By adjusting the patch dimensions and positions of the vias, the center frequency, and equivalent L and C parameters meet design requirements. In a DLTV-EBG, layer-1 has a square ring patch; layer-2 has a circular ring; outer square ring patch with 2 edged located vias gives the additional capacitance and inductance to achieve compactness. The simulation of the DLTV-EBG structure is carried out using the Ansys high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) and experimentally validated. The band gap of the DLTV-EBG structure is measured using suspended microstrip line (SML) method. The Experimental results agree well with simulation one. The periodic size of the proposed DLTV-EBG structure is 0.05λ_{1.65 GHz}, which is a good candidate where compact size is highly desired.
