Structure ¹º2<br />
becomes increasingly compromised. Consequently, a marked decrease is seen in the<br />
<strong>photonic</strong> band gap behavior. The graph shown in Fig. 1.5 is for a perfect lattice. There are<br />
no spikes in the region where there is normally zero transmission (as in the case <strong>of</strong><br />
lattices with defects).<br />
1.1.3 Three Dimensional Photonic Crystals<br />
Three-dimensional <strong>photonic</strong> <strong>crystals</strong> provide three-dimensional gaps. This is to say, any<br />
wave from any direction will be completely reflected. The combination <strong>of</strong> threedimensional<br />
<strong>photonic</strong> <strong>crystals</strong> and integrated planar antenna technology provides a new<br />
exciting approach to a range <strong>of</strong> advanced efficiency enhanced antenna systems for the
