Focusing Characteristics of a Metallic Cylindrical Electromagnetic Band Gap Structure with Defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The focusing characteristics of 2D-Cylindrical Electromagnetic Band Gap (CEBG) structures constituted of metallic wires and with defects are analyzed numerically for directive antennas application. The introduction of defects into the periodic structures consists of removing one or multiple wires. The simulations were carried out with a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) code, where the excitation is a line source and the CEBG structure is considered infinite in the vertical direction. Numerical results showing the effects of the number of cylindrical layers and of the number of defects are presented and discussed. These results allow to determine the structures giving best focusing performance and to obtain the frequency band for directive radiation.

Photonic band gaps, defect characteristics, and waveguiding in two-dimensional disordered dielectric and metallic photonic crystals
We experimentally investigated the influence of positional disorder on the photonic band gap, defect characteristics, and waveguiding in two-dimensional dielectric and metallic photonic crystals. Transmission measurements performed on the dielectric photonic crystals have shown a stop band even if a large amount of disorder was introduced to these structures. On the other hand, the photonic ban...

We present a self-consistent technique for the asymptotic analysis of dispersion curves in two-dimensional (2D) metallic photonic band gap (PBG) structures representing square and triangular arrays of metal rods. The technique is applicable for the structures with rod radii (a), which are small compared to the distance between the rods (b) and to the wavelength (λ). The induced current and char...

In this paper we studied the focusing effect of electromagnetic wave in the two-dimensional graded photonic crystal consisting of Silicon rods in the air background with gradually varying lattice constant. The results showed that graded photonic crystal can focus wide beams on a narrow area at frequencies near the lower edge of the band gap, where equal frequency contours are not concave. For c...
