Abstract:

A novel defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed and the effect of the defect parameters on its performances is presented. A lowpass filter is designed using the proposed DGS. Experimental results confirm that the lowpass filter can provide a very wide stopband with 20 dB bandgap, which is approximately 3.7 times of the cutoff frequency. Therefore the higher order harmonic responses are effectively suppressed. In addition, the highimpedance inductances are realized by using DGS so that highpower handling capability is improved.

Key words: defect parameters, lowpass filter, selectivity
