Abstract

Effect on the electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) of an active, tunable, EBG structure, due to the insertion loss and other scattering parameters of active switching devices, is investigated. Active FET switches are modeled two ways, first as perfect conductors with the switch packaging and secondly as a black box with embedded scattering parameters provided by the switch manufacturer. The results obtained from the simulations for the transmission characteristics of the EBG structure shows a significant downshift in the resultant electromagnetic bandgap due to the additional transmission line effects introduced by the switches.
