Description
Summary:A method is presented, for the efficient derivation of the dispersion equation associated with electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures composed by lossless frequency selective surfaces (FSS) printed on stratified dielectric media. The method, valid for the range of frequency where a single propagating Floquet mode occurs, is based on Foster's reactance theorem applied to an equivalent transmission line network. This theorem implies that the admittance functions of frequency which represent the FSS satisfy the pole-zero analytical properties of the driving point LC admittance functions. By these basic properties and by the full-wave identification of the FSS resonances, an analytical form of the dispersion equation is obtained. This equation is next solved for both surface wave and leaky wave modes by a conventional numerical technique. The results are successfully compared with those from a full-wave analysis.
