In this paper, a novel multi-band EBG structure is presented. By making slots on Sievenpiper High Impedance Surface(HIS) to increase the inductance and capacitance, the resonant frequency of the EBG structure can be significantly reduced.Transmission line method is used to determine the band-gap of the EBG structure.The simulated and experimental results show that the novel EBG structure can provide multiple band-gap. This proposed EBG can be usefully applied to multiple frequency antennas and low profile antennas.
