The electromagnetic‐transmission properties of opal‐like structures made of glass marbles has been measured. All the cases show strongly rejected bands at frequencies corresponding to a Bragg 2 nd ‐order of diffraction. The results show good agreement with appropriate simulations. Moreover, the structure presents a lens effect when placed properly at the output of a conventional horn antenna. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
