17 GHz photonic band gap cavity with improved input coupling

We present the theoretical design and cold test of a 17 GHz photonic band gap (PBG) cavity with improved coupling from an external rectangular waveguide. The PBG cavity is made of a triangular lattice of metal rods with a defect (missing rod) in the center. The TM_{010}-like defect mode was chosen a...
