Improving the Radiated Immunity of the Strip-Lines Using a Novel Hybrid EBG Structure

Based on a new hybrid EBG plane structure, a strip-line design with enhanced radiated immunity (RI) performance is proposed. Compared with the conventional strip-line structure, the proposed strip-line behaves over 25dB RI improvement within multiple stopbands, which can cover the wireless communication bands of PCS and WLAN with totally over 5GHz bandwidth.
