Abstract:

In order to design a high performance miniaturized microstrip filter, a new Φshape defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed. A Lowpass filter is designed using the Φshape DGS with H shape open stubs line. A one single, twocascaded and threecascaded Φshape DGS lowpass filters is designed, simulated, fabricated and measured repectively. The transmission characteristics of the twocascaded Φshape DGS lowpass filter shows its advantages of compact size, high selectivity, low insertion loss and excellent passband performance. The frequency response of the threecascaded Φshape DGS lowpass filter presents the advantages of compact size; high selectivity; low insertion loss; better passband performance and high outband suppression of more than 40dB. Measurement shows a good agreement with the simulated results. It also validates the requirements of miniaturization and high performance for filters.

Key words: microstrip lowpass filter, Φshape, defected ground structure, H shape open stubs
