Abstract

This present paper concentrates on applications of Electromagnetic band gap (EBG) technology that is operating at microwave and sub mm wave frequencies. Some of examples of Electromagnetic band gap configurations in the region of microwave are shown, that includes array antennas, high precision GPS, mobile telephony, wearable antennas and diplexing antennas. A 500 GHz dipole configuration and a novel heterodyne mixer are shown as examples for sub millimeter wave region. Some emphasis is also placed on EBG waveguides, high impedance planes (AMCs), resonators and filters. As most fundamental components would be available in EBG technology, a fully integrated receiver could be developed in order to take full advantage of this technology. The passive and active component integration with EBG technology is now begun to materialize.
