Photonic band gap (PBG) materials have been of great interest due to their potential applications in science and technology. Their applications can be further extended when PBG becomes tunable against various chemical and electrical stimuli. In recent, it was found that tunable photonic band gap materials can be achieved by incorporating stimuli-responsive smart gels into PBG materials. For example, the characteristic volume phase transition of gels in response to the various external stimuli including temperature, pH, ionic strength, solvent compositions and electric field were recently combined with the unique optical properties of photonic crystals to form unprecedented highly responsive optical components. Since these responsive photonic crystals are capable of reversibly converting chemical or electrical energy into characteristic optical signals, they have been considered as a good platform for label-free chemical or biological detection, actuators or optical switches as well as a model system for investigating gel swelling behavior. Herein, we report block copolymer photonic gels self-assembled from polystyrene-b-poly (2-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) block copolymers. In this talk, we are going to demonstrate that selective swelling of lamellar structure can be effectively utilized for fabricating PBG materials with extremely large tunability. Optical properties and their applications will be discussed.

The performances of millimeter wave Power amplifier have been improved by using PBG (photonic bandgap structure) in this paper. The PBG structure has been optimized to obtain the lowpass characteristics in Ka band and employed at output port of Ka band power amplifier. The harmonics of the power amplifier have been suppressed by the PBG of output port and the proposed PBG has suppressed the second harmonic to 40dBc around 50 GHz. The improvements of IMD and PAE of the amplifier employing the PBG structure are obtained $15\%$ and $25\%$, compared with those of the conventional Ka band power amplifier, respectively.

This paper demonstrates the detailed study of a microstrip Yagi-Uda antenna with and without PBG structure at wireless LAN(5725∼5825 MHz) frequency band. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna with the PBG holes is greater than (about 30 MHz) that of its counter part without PBG holes. The measured gains of the antenna at the frequency band are 7 dB and 6 dB respectively for antenna with and without PBG. The improvement of gain of about 1 dB is likely due to the suppression of surface wave.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated the high power amplifier employing PBG(Photonic Band-Gap Structure) to improve the linearity of the amplifier in the millimeter wave band. The fabricated amplifier using MMIC(TGA1073G) has operated about 24 GHz band and the PBG has resulted in 35 dB suppression about 49 GHz where the second harmonic occurs due to the amplifier. As a result, the output power has been 24.43 dBm and 13.2 dBc of the IMD has been improved. Also, the PAE is obtained to 14.96 % of the amplifier employing the PBG structure in Ka band.

We show that the microstrip ring with a narrow gap exhibits a photonic band gap (PBG) that is generally believed to be created by a periodic array. The discontinuity of impedance at the narrow gap induces the multiple reflections with fixed phase correlation necessary to make the PBG. We have also discussed the tuning of the PBG frequency by applying an external voltage on a varactor mounted on the gap and the applications of this PBG ring as a tunable bandstop filter and a microwave switch.

Microwave or optical photonic band-gap(PBG) structures are conventionally realized by cascading distributive elements in a periodic pattern. However, the frequency bandwidth obtained through such plainly periodic arrangement is typically narrow, corporate with a relatively high rejection side-lobe band. To alleviate such problems, a design involving a chirping and tapering technique is hence introduced and employed. The design has been applied in both a planar stratified dielectric medium as well as a strip-line transmission line structure, and results are validated when compared with the corresponding conventional PBG structure.

This paper presents a design of 12㎓ VCBRO(voltage controlled dielectric resonator oscillator) using a novel PBG(photonic band gap) ground plane and a varactor circuit that enhances the frequency linearity of VCO with different bias to varactors. The PBG structures are used for suppressing the second and third harmonics without any filters. To simulate the accurate resonating frequency, a DR coupled with microstrip lines is analysed by FTM(finite element method) simulation, and the results are transformed into scattering parameters to design the VCO. Some measured results are presented to show the usefulness of the proposed techniques.

본 논문에서는 밀리미터 웨이브 대역의 PBG(photonic band gap)를 적용한 고출력 증폭기를 설계하였다. 증폭기의 선형성과 효율을 개선하기 위하여 PBG를 증폭기의 2차 고조파를 제거하도록 설계하였다. 또한 기존의 PBG형태와 비슷한 성능을 가지면서도 출력 라인을 따라서 구현되는 PBG의 길이는 감소하도록 PBG를 변형하여 최적화 시켰다.

A bandpass filter has been designed by employing the PBG structure and the aperture on the ground together in this paper. The harmonics of band pass filter have been suppressed by employing the PBG structure and the bandwidth of it has been broadened by using the aperture on the ground. The three kinds of PBG structures has been combined to suppress the harmonics of the filter The center frequency of filter is 2.2 GHz and the bandwidth has been increased from $40\%$ by the aperture and all harmonics were suppressed about 35dBc by the PBG. The insertion loss has been reduced 3.0dB to 2.6dB.

광자 (photon)를 이용하여 정보의 전달, 표시, 감지 그리고 저장이 가능한 다양한 형태의 소자들은 현재 그 주를 이루고 있는 전자 (electron)가 매개인 소자를 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 활발히 연구되고 있다. 전자의 움직임은 재료 내에 주기적으로 배열되어 있는 원자나 분자의 결정구조에 의해 제어된다. 이는 전도밴드 (conduction band)와 원자가 밴드(valance band) 사이에 존재하는 전자 밴드갭 (electronic band gap)을 조절함으로써 가능하다. 이와 유사한 개념으로 광자의 움직임은 유전체의 주기적인 배열을 통해서 가능함이 제안되었다. 규칙적인 유전체의 결정구조를 가진 재료에 빛이 조사되었을 때, 그 재료를 통과하지 못하는 특정파장이 결정되며 이를 광자 밴드갭 (photonic band gap: PBG)이라 한다.
