What are electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures?
Electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures refer to arrays of two-dimensional or three-dimensional periodic objects that inhibit the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a particular frequency band (the bandgap) irrespective of the direction of propagation. WEMTEC has pioneered the development of various types of EBG structures that suppress modes on parallel-plate waveguides. • Q: What are the broad areas of application for WEMTECs technology? A: The two main areas of application for WEMTECs technology are: • To suppress noise on power distribution networks at the printed circuit board and package level. • To suppress parasitic modes inside shielded microwave and millimeterwave packages. • Q: Which end-use products could be improved with WEMTECs technology? A: Printed circuit boards and RF packages are the backbone of a variety of electronic devices including computers, cell phones, automobile electronics, power supplies, and sophisticated defense systems. • Q: What is special about
