What is special about WEMTECs EBG technology?

WEMTEC has patented many different EBG structures that suppress modes on parallel-plate waveguides. Some patents teach very low profile designs of EBG structures that are 5x to 10x thinner that previous technology that has the same cutoff frequency. Other WEMTEC patents teach very low frequency EBG structures whose stopbands extend down to 30 MHz, or about 10x lower than competing EBG structures. These low frequency EBG structures have unit cell sizes that are as small as 1/800 of a free-space wavelength. EBG technology is the only known way to suppress parallel-plate mode noise above 1 GHz.
