We consider the spectrum of a class of positive, second-order elliptic systems of partial differential equations defined in the plane $ \mathbb{R}^2 $. The coefficients of the equation are assumed to have a special form, namely, they are doubly periodic and of high contrast. More precisely, the plane $ \mathbb{R}^2 $ is decomposed into an infinite union of the translates of the rectangular periodicity cell $ \Omega^0 $, and this in turn is divided into two components, on each of which the coefficients have different, constant values. Moreover, the second component of $ \Omega^0 $ consist of a neighborhood of the boundary of the cell of the width $ h $ and thus has an area comparable to $ h $, where $ h>0 $ is a small parameter.
Using the methods of asymptotic analysis we study the position of the spectral bands as $ h \to 0 $ and in particular show that the spectrum has at least a given, arbitrarily large number of gaps, provided $ h $ is small enough.
