This paper addresses a modified bandpass ring resonator filter providing compact size, low insertion-loss, wide bandwidth, sharp rejection and suppressed higher order modes. Typically, ring resonator filters suffer from large occupation area and limited out of band rejection. These limitations are tackled in this work by means of a threefold approach. On the one hand, the use of internal folded...

This paper proposes a new type of double flower shaped DGS structure which when etched on the metallic ground plane of a simple microstrip line gives low-pass filter characteristics. This is due to the metamaterial behaviour of the DGS. The frequency characteristics of the DGS are investigated by simulating the structure in Mom based IE3D simulator. The effective parameters of the metamaterial ...

This study discusses the design and manufacture of microstrip antennas that aim to widen bandwidth in application Wi-Fi form a hexagonal patch composed 2x4 element array. Microstrip have weakness, namely narrow bandwidth, therefore modification is needed using DGS (Defected Ground Structure) method dumbbell circle head. The allocation working frequency often used community 2.4 GHz accordance wi...

A square split-ring resonator (SRR) defected ground structure (DGS) is studied in this paper. This DGS structure has a flat low-pass characteristic and a sharp band-gap property compared to the conventional dumbbell DGS. A detailed analysis of the relationship between the transmission characteristic and the split-ring dimension is made. In order to enhance the out-band suppression, an improved ...

A novel 180◦ hybrid is proposed, based on a modified Gysel power combiner, using phase shifter and ground bridge for the difference output. Also the Defected Microstrip Structure has been used to increase the hybrid’s phase matching. All steps of the design are simulated using HFSS 11 and the final design is validated by the fabrication. It has good results between 7 GHz to 10 GHz and can be us...

A quadband filter for 1.57 GHz GPS, 5.2 GHz WLAN and 3.5 GHz Worldwide Interoperability Microwave Access is designed and tested in this work. A compact Defected Ground Structure (DGS) quad-band microstrip Band Pass Filter, stub loaded Low Pass Filter, short circuited uniform impedance resonator and ring resonator are used to maintain the size and performance. Use of stub resonator at central po...
