%0 Journal Article %T An Example of Suppression of Spurious Stop-Bands of EBG Band-Stop Filter %A Du£żan Ne£żi£ż %A Branko Kolund£żija %J Microwave Review %D 2011 %I Society for Microwave Technique, Technologies and Systems, Serbia and Montenegro IEEE MTT-S Chapter %X Based on the well known theory of infinite periodic structures, analytical theory of EBG (electromagnetic band gap) cells suppressing 6 higher (spurious) stop-bands is developed. Using such cells in a cascade the straight-forward procedure for design of the corresponding EBG band-stop filter is proposed, with possibility to control the width and the depth of the stop-band. The analytical theory is confirmed by the EM simulation of the filter realized in the microstrip technology. %K Band-stop filter %K Suppression of spurious stop-bands %K Microstrip %U http://www.mtt-serbia.org.rs/microwave_review/pdf/Vol17No2_04_DNesic.pdf
