Abstract: This project aims to design, in an optimized way (with space mapping and neural networks), various passive components based on new materials (metamaterials and periodic materials or EBGs materials) and using classical technologies (waveguides and planar lines) and the new micro-electro-mechanical technology (MEMS). To design these new components will be used commercial simulators available, or the one requested in this proposal, as well as new tools developed in cooperation by groups of both universities in Spain and Mexico. The Spanish group will bring its experience in the area of simulation and design of passive components based on new materials (metamaterials and EBGs) and modern technologies, while Mexican University will apply their knowledge in automated design techniques based on spatial mapping and neural networks . Prototypes and demonstrators were manufactured from new components designed, whose experimental validation will be conducted in the laboratory of measures available in the Spanish group. In this sense, and with the supervision and support of the European Space Agency (ESA), the objective is to complete one of these laboratories to verify new nonlinear effects (multipactor, corona and intermodulation) that arise in these devices used in new high power applications.
