In this paper, a miniature ultrawideband (UWB) bandpass filter with dual notch bands and wide upper stopband is presented. The ultrawide passband characteristic is achieved using a microstrip to slot line transition, and a wide upper stop band is realized using an elliptical lowpass filter. The dual band notches at 5.46 GHz and 8.04GHz are obtained by incorporating defected microstrip structure...

Manuscript Received 26-February-2013 and revised 23-June-2013 ISSN 2322-3936 Accepted on 2July-2013 Abstract— This paper proposes a two way L and S band Gysel power divider/combiner that uses line to ground resistors. Step by step methods to obtain a wide isolation and transmission bandwidth are presented. A design that uses five resistors is selected and optimized based on Quasi Newton method....

In this paper, a novel design of CPW-Fed defected substrate microstrip antenna is presented. The proposed antenna shows wideband applications by choosing suitable defected crown shape substrate. Defected shape substrate also reduces the size of the antenna. The radiating patch of proposed antenna is taken in the form of extended U-shape. The space around the radiator is utilized by extending th...

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...

A novel design of multiband microstrip antenna array with dumbbell shape defected ground structure (DGS) is presented. The DGS is inserted into the ground plane between the two elements of the antenna array in order to suppress mutual coupling. Both simulation and measurement results verified that the DGS improved the radiation properties of the antenna array. Measurement results of the DGS ant...

This paper aims to analyze the effect of application of defected ground structure (DGS) on the resonating properties of microstrip patch antenna. In order to obtain the comparative results a small size DGS has been introduced in the ground plane exactly under the feeding strip of the patch antenna. The representative results obtained from the simulations have revealed that the proposed antenna ...
