## Abstract This paper presents an experimental demonstration of the origin of the Photonic bandgap, using a planar dielectric substrate with a 1D finite array of rectangular holes. A microstrip of uniform width placed above the array shows a periodic variation of impedance and refractive index. Th

Abstract
Planar photonic bandgap structures have been modeled using the theory of transmission lines and periodic circuits. The method allows for fast and accurate computation of the dispersion diagram, and thus prediction of the stopbands for two directions of propagation. Results obtained by the proposed analytic method are in agreement with previously published numerical data for two structures. Additional numerical evaluations of the reflection phase with the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method confirm the validity of the analytic model within the limits of its applicability. They also further confirm previous observations that wave propagation in directions other than two principal axes results in a narrower stopband. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

We propose modifying the spectral-domain approach to analyze planar lines with a very thin copper strip, presenting a fractal character. We derive, from a fractional derivative electromagnetism formulation, a new modified surface impedance introduced in that numerical technique. The results exhibit
