Abstract
Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures can stop propagation of electromagnetic waves of certain frequencies and hence can be applied to construction of microstrip filters. In this paper, a novel PBG microstrip filter based on YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ high-temperature superconductor films is presented. The PBG patterns forming the filters were etched on a 0.3- and a 0.7-/spl mu/m-thick film. Experimental results showed that the transmission coefficient S/sub 21/ of the filter is dependent on the thickness of the YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-x/ film. The thinner PBG filter exhibits an effective stopband of a center frequency of 20 GHz, a bandwidth of 4.7 GHz (at -40 dB), an attenuation of -55 dB, and a rolloff rate of 38 dB/GHz, while the thicker structure exhibits narrow notches only in the S/sub 21/ characteristics.
