1. A structure for isolating between spaced apart microwave circuit components and transmission media located on a top surface of a microstrip substrate, comprising:

  • a bottom ground plane provided below said microwave substrate;

    a top ground plane located above said microwave substrate substantially parallel to said bottom ground plane; and

    a two-dimensional periodically arrayed matrix of conducting posts orthogonally arranged between said top and bottom ground planes for isolating microwave circuit components located between said posts on the microwave substrate, each end of the conducting posts forming said matrix being grounded to one of said top and bottom ground planes wherein each microwave circuit component to be isolated is spaced apart from and surrounded by a number of said conducting posts of said matrix of conducting posts to isolate the microwave circuit component.
