Abstract
A one dimensional tunable periodic structure in microstip technology on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate is numerically investigated. The unit cell contains a number of patches positioned between the ground plane and the microstrip line. The patches, representing reactive loads, can be selectively short-circuited by externally-controlled FET switches integrated in the hosting substrate. The possibility of controlling the position of the band-gap, and implicitly the value of the efiective dielectric constant along the line, for difierent combinations of the switches is demonstrated.
