Periodic Structures for Microwave Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Periodic structures have been extensively used in the history of microwave engineering. Recently, there appears a significant renewed interest in this subject, due to highly publicized Photonic Crystals and Metamaterials. This lecture introduces basic theory on the electromagnetic aspects and circuit representations of periodic structures. Several practical examples are introduced. Some fundamental features of potential use of the periodic structures are discussed.

Complementary Periodic Structures for Miniaturization of Planar Antennas
In this paper various layered planar periodic structures which provide miniaturization of planar antennas are proposed and discussed. The proposed designs are based on two concepts, reactive impedance surfaces and complementary periodic structures. In the proposed structures, complementary periodic rings and slots are patterned on the intermediate boundaries of the dielectric layers. A patch an...
متن کاملTransmission and Reflection Characteristics of a Concrete Block Wall Illuminated by a TM-polarized Obliquely incident wave
Typically, many of the modern buildings have concrete walls constructed from cinder block walls, that have periodic nature in their relative dielectric constant. This periodic nature excites higher-order Floquet harmonic modes at microwave frequencies, which leads to the propagation of scattered waves along with non-specular directions. Periodic structures exhibit different behaviors when illum...
متن کاملDesign, Fabrication and Measurement of Two-Layered Quadruple-Band Microwave Metamaterial Absorber
The design, simulation, fabrication, and measurement of two structures of metamaterial absorbers (MA) is investigated at microwave frequency in this paper. By stacking of one layer structure on the top of each other, a two-layered structure is generated. The unit cell at each layer consisting of two sets of various circular and square patches are designed so that the structure exhibit quad band...

متن کاملIn-plane Band Gaps in a Periodic Plate with Piezoelectric Patches
A plate periodically bonded with piezoelectric patches on its surfaces is considered. The differential quadrature element method is used to solve the wave motion equation for the two-dimensional periodic structure. The method is very simple and easy to implement. Based on the method, band structures for in-plane wave propagating in the periodic piezoelectric plate are studied, from which the fr...
