Sumario:This paper reviews the primary application areas of Electromagnetic BandGap (EBG) technology at microwave and (sub)millimetre wave frequencies. Examples of EBG configurations in the microwave region are shown and include array antennas, high precision GPS, mobile telephony, wearable antennas and diplexing antennas. In the submillimetre wave region a 500 GHz dipole configuration and a novel heterodyne mixer is shown. Some emphasis is also placed on EBG waveguides, high impedance planes (AMC s), resonators and filters. As most fundamental components would be available in EBG technology, a fully integrated receiver could be developed in order to take full advantage of this technology. True integration of passive and active components can now begin to materialise using EBG technology.
