An electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure includes an antenna substrate layer, first conductive regions, and second conductive regions. The antenna substrate includes a first planar surface and a second planar surface. The first conductive regions are located on the first planar surface of the antenna substrate and separated from adjacent first conductive regions by a first distance. The second conductive regions are located on the first planar surface of the antenna substrate and are separated from the first conductive regions by a second distance and wherein the second conductive regions at least partially surround the first conductive regions.

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems utilizing a high-isolation transition design for differential signal ports. A differential input transition structure includes a first layer and a second layer made of a conductive metal and a substrate positioned between the first and second layers. The second layer includes a first section that electrically connects to a single-ended signal contact point and to a first contact point of a differential signal port. The first section includes a first stub based on an input impedance of the single-ended signal contact point and a second stub based on a differential input impedance associated with the differential signal port. The second layer includes a second section that electrically connects to a second contact point of the differential signal port and to the first layer through a via housed in a pad. The second section includes a third stub associated with the differential input impedance.

An illustrative example electronic device includes a signal generator having at least one conductive output member. A substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) includes a substrate and a plurality of conductive members in the substrate. The substrate includes a slot in one exterior surface of the substrate. The slot is situated adjacent the at least one conductive output member of the signal generator such that a signal of the signal generator is coupled into the SIW through the slot.
