Optimization of chirped and tapered microstrip koch fractal electromagnetic band gap (KFEBG) structures for improved low-pass filter design

This study presents electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures in microstrip technology based on onedimensional Koch fractal patterns (Koch fractal EBG (KFEBG)). This fractal geometry allows to adjust the radius r and distance a between patterns so that a low-pass filter response is obtained when the...
