Abstract
This article represents a comprehensive review of the research carried out on analytical and numerical methods modeling of electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures used in around last two decades. Because of the unique characteristics of the surface wave reduction as well as perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) like behavior, the EBG structures have created their separate existence in antenna engineering society. These structures are being widely used in designing of several microwave planar circuits including printed antennas, printed microwave filters, etc. The purpose of this article is to present an inclusive review of analytical methods as well as numerical methods in the context of modeling of EBG-structures. Such a review process is rarely carried out in the open literature to the best of authors' knowledge. The review exercise might be helpful to the researchers working on modeling of EBG-structures as well as of EBG-structured printed antennas, microwave planar filters, etc.
