We investigate one-dimensional Josephson junction arrays with generalized unit cells as a circuit approach to engineer microwave band gaps. An array described by a lattice with a basis can be designed to have a gap in the electromagnetic spectrum, in full analogy to electronic band gaps in diatomic or many-atomic crystals. We derive the dependence of this gap on the array parameters in the linear regime, and suggest experimentally feasible designs to bring the gap below the single junction plasma frequency. The gap can be tuned in a wide frequency range by applying external flux, and it persists in the presence of small imperfections.
