Abstract
Conventional electromagnetic crystals or electromagnetic bandgaps (EBGs) with uniform distribution show spurious ripples in the pass band and poor stopβband responses. This paper presents a detailed theoretical investigation of the performance of EBGs on a uniplanar transmission line using tapered distribution. The nonuniform size of the EBGs is used to improve the ripple height, 20βdB rejection band, and selectivity of the filter over the passβband and stopβband regions. The calculated S parameters exhibit significant improvement in ripple height and rejection bandwidth, as compared with the conventional EBGβassisted coplanar transmission line.
