## Abstract Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures with slots etched in their ground plane have been proposed recently as a good choice for the design of printed microwave filters, absorbers, reflectors, and antennas for many modern applications. In the present work, a microstrip PBG filter was designed

Abstract
In this paper, a Van Koch printed antenna on a photonic‐bandgap fractal substrate is presented. The substrate is designed with grounded Van Koch printed elements. The structure is a multifrequency radiator as a common fractal antenna, but the special synthesis of the substrate enhances the frequency bandwidth and gain, and drives the antenna to radiate a circularly polarized field. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
