Here the basic theory of these structures will be presented, as well as applications and determination of certain parameters. In this work the analysis will be performed concerning PBG structures, including the basic theory and applications in planar structures. Considerations are made related to the implementation of devices. Here the TTL (Transverse Transmission Line) method is employed, characterized by the simplicity in the treatment of the equations that govern the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the structure. In this method, the fields in x and z are expressed in function of the fields in the traverse direction y in FTD (Fourier Transform Domain). This method is useful in the determination of the complex propagation constant with application in high frequency and photonics. In this work structures will be approached in micrometric scale operating in frequencies in the range of T erahertz, a first step for operation in the visible spectra. The mathematical basis are approached for the determination of the electromagnetic fields in the structure, based on the method L TT taking into account the dimensions approached in this work. Calculations for the determination of the constant of complex propagation are also carried out. The computational implementation is presented for high frequencies. at the first time the analysis is done with base in open microstrip lines with semiconductor substrate. Finally, considerations are made regarding applications ofthese devices in the area of telecommunications, and suggestions for future / Um dos objetivos desta disserta??o ? a an?lise de estruturas planares utilizando a tecnologia PBG, uma nova forma de controle de propaga??o de sinais em dispositivos com diel?tricos. Aqui ser? apresentada a teoria b?sica destas estruturas e aplica??es bem como a determina??o de par?metros em escala fot?nica, ou seja, estruturas que usam sinais de luz e t?tons.

O m?todo utilizado ? o LTT - Linas de Transmiss?o Transversa, caracterizado pela simplicidade no tratamento das equa??es que regem a propaga??o de ondas eletromagn?ticas e ?pticas na dire??o transvesal e no FTD ( Dom?nio da Transformda de Fouries). Este m?todo ? ?til na determina??o da constante de propaga??o complexa com aplica??o em alta freq??ncia e fot?nica. Nesta tese ser?o abordadas estruturas em escala microm?trica operando em freq??ncias na faixa de Terahertz, um primeiro passo para opera??o na faixa de luz. Ser? abordada a base matem?tica para a determina??o dos campos eletromagn?ticos na estrutura, baseado no m?todo LTT levando em considera??o as dimens?es abordadas neste trabalho. Ser?o considerados tamb?m os c?lculos para a determina??o da constante de propaga??o complexa. A implementa??o computacional ? apresentada para valores elevados de freq??ncia. A princ?pio as an?lises ser?o feitas com base em linhas de microfita abertas com substrato com semicondutor. Finalmente ser?o feitas considera??es a respeito de aplica??es destes dispositivos na ?rea de telecomunica??es, e sugest?es para futuros trabalhos
