This dissertation for a Master degree in Engineering, presents a survey of the application of Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) structures on microwave planar circuits, with the conception of original topologies for wide stopband and dual stopband filters, and the proposition of a synthesis methodology for these filters. A filter design methodology was proposed and applied to the design of a transmission line filter using two simultaneous EBG structures, aiming at the achievement of a filter with a wide stop-band. This filter was built in planar circuit technology, with the demonstration of an 11 GHz ultra-wide stopband centered in 11.5 GHz, with high degree of rejection superior than 34 dB, presenting excellent agreement with the computational simulation. In parallel, a synthesis methodology was developed to automatically generate new topologies of stopband filters using EBG structures, that results in filters with wide stopband or dual stop-bands. The proposed synthesis methodology involves computational processes for the optimization of the EBG structure geometry applied to microwave transmission line, aiming at achieving the filter response defined by an objective function. For that, the software MATLAB with the genetic algorithm toolbox was used to develop an optimization program, which interacts with the tridimensional electromagnetic simulator – EM-3D Microwave Suite from CST. The synthesis procedure was applied to the project of one filter with dual stopband centered in 3.3 GHz and 7.8 GHz and to the project of three filters with an wide stopband feature capable of rejecting a frequency band from 9 GHz to 20 GHz with magnitude of rejection greater than 10 dB. The designed filters were built in planar technology and measured at microwave frequencies. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness and the flexibility of the proposed synthesis methodology, which allowed original contributions in the field of stopband filters using EBG structures, with novel topologies.
