Abstract

In this paper, a simple and novel electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure is proposed which offers a wide band gap and improved signal integrity. The unit cell of the structure consists of three square patches arranged in a particular fashion and connected by L-shaped bridges. Two of the square patches are shorted to the ground plane using vias. The unit-cell dimensions were taken to be less than half the operating wavelength at 2 and 2.5 GHz, at which the structure has been analyzed for signal integrity. A single unit cell of the proposed EBG structure is analyzed using IE3D, a method of moments based simulation tool. A single unit cell provides a band gap of 20 GHz starting from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The prototype model for the unit cell is developed. A comparison between the simulation and measured results shows a good agreement. The improved signal integrity of the proposed structure is demonstrated both in terms of S-parameters and the eye diagram.
