The metallodielectric photonic crystal has a face centered cubic Bravais lattice structure with a lattice constant of 15 mm. Metallic spheres with 6.35 mm diameter are placed at the lattice sites. The metallodielectric photonic crystal displayed a directional bandgap with a lower band edge of 13.0 GHz, an upper band edge of 21.5 GHz and a center frequency of 17.25 GHz, corresponding to a stop bandwidth center frequency ratio of 50%. The maximum rejection at the band center is 35 dB, corresponding to a 7 dB per unit cell rejection ratio. The Fabry-Perot type resonance in the K-u band has a quality factor of 200, with a maximum transmission peak of -5 dB.Electrical electronics engineeringJournal Article174744300007Q27591
