Abstract

Electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures can exhibit high impedance surface (HIS) performance on a lossless substrate. However, the performance of an EBG structure is not only determined by the type of element or physical dimensions, but also by the electrical characteristics of the dielectric substrate. The evolution of an EBG structure from HIS to metamaterial absorber with different lossy silicon substrates is analyzed and presented in a reflection magnitude and phase graph. The conductivity of the used substrate is introduced to represent the loss tangent of the silicon substrate. An equivalent circuit model is developed that models the EBG on a lossy silicon substrate. The small differences between calculated and simulated results are explained by ignoring the patch series inductance Ls and the capacitance Ch between the patch and ground plane. Based on the analysis of the reflection characteristics on lossy silicon substrates, this planar EBG structure provides an acceptable performance in BiCMOS technologies, but cannot be used in low-Ohmic CMOS technologies.
