Wave propagation in periodic structures has been studied for some time as part of applied physics investigations.1,2 Recently, periodic structures, such as photonic-bandgap (PBG) structures and defected ground structures (DGS) for planar transmission lines, have drawn wide interest in applications for microstrip filters, antennas, and millimeter-wave circuits...
