Abstract
An electronic structure includes a conductor layer; an insulation layer adjacent to the conductor layer; an Alternating Impedance Electromagnetic Bandgap (AI-EBG) layer adjacent to the conductor layer; and a signal driver, a transmission line, and a destination device overlaid on the AI-EBG layer, such that the AI-EBG layer induces an alternating change to an impedance in the transmission line. The alternating change to the impedance creates a reflection signal to an initial signal on the transmission line, and the reflection signal and the initial signal combine to create an amplified signal.
