Printed Periodic Waveguide Structures

Printed periodic waveguide structures present an in-
depth study on the guided-wave characteristics and
applications of periodic waveguide structures loaded
with printed strips and slots. From the full-wave
analysis of a single unit/cell of the periodic
waveguide structure using the Hybrid MoM-Immittance
Approach, guided-wave per-unit length transmission
parameters of frequency selective surface (FSS)
printed periodic waveguide structures are
numerically obtained. It has been observed that
different FSS loading configurations exhibit
distinctive guided-wave characteristics such as slow-
wave, fast-wave, backward wave, forward wave, etc.
Such printed periodic waveguide structure can be
used for various applications. It has been
demonstrated that such periodic waveguide structures
can be used for constructing performance enhanced
waveguide filters, compact and wideband EBG
transmission media and waveguide based
DNG metamaterials.
