In this paper, we have studied the dependence of insertion loss of the pressed microstrip PBG ring consisting of coupled two microstrip lines. When the distance decreases, two or three attenuation poles are created by the coupling between the lines. Thus the pressed PBG ring exhibits a wide stop band and sharp cutoff characteristics.
