✦ Synopsis

Figure 6 Simulated scattering and radiation levels for the compact Ž . Ž . PBG microstrip reflector filled line and conventional straight PBG Ž . microstrip reflector dotted line good choice.

The problem is that, to obtain these high-performance characteristics, the necessary number of periods in the PBG reflector can be quite large, making the physical implementation of the device impractical. In this letter, we have proposed a compact structure, using the bending feasibility of the microstrip conductor line in PBG reflectors, that allows the employment of a large number of periods in a reasonable circuit area, making their physical implementation practical.

An attractive application of these devices can be the implementation of high-performance filters.
