Abstract: In this paper, the application of periodic structure for the W-band circuit and system is overviewed, and its future development is also discussed. Among the characteristics of the periodic structure, the stopband characteristic, which is also called electromagnetic bandgap (EBG), is focused in this overview paper. Two typical applications including EBG waveguide (gap waveguide) and EBG packaging are overviewed and summarized for the W-band circuit and system. For the gap waveguide, the stopband characteristic of the periodic structure prevent the electromagnetic wave leakage into the sides and the electromagnetic wave is guided within the designed paths. To integrate with the other passive and active components, three different W-band transitions have been proposed by the author for different kinds of the gap waveguides. Besides, a W-band gap waveguide bandpass filter has also been proposed by the author to study the passive component application of such technology. For the EBG packaging, two cases have been researched. The EBG packaging technique has been applied for improving the performances of a W-band coupler, and it has also been used for a low-profile and light W-band front-end integration. Finally, some discussions are given for this area.
