In this paper, microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) filters using various defected ground structures are studied. Miniature microstrip filters employed in transceiver of modern wireless communication systems play vital role in controlling and regulating frequency response. DGS techniques are etched in ground plane to design compact microstrip based low pass, high pass, bandpass and band reject filters used in modern wireless systems. Various modified and hybrid defected ground structure techniques are employed to achieve high return loss, low insertion loss, ultra compactness, good selectivity and linearity in filters. Study reveals that the proper selection and incorporation of DGS techniques while designing microstrip ultra wideband filter optimizes the various vital parameters which enhances its performance and practicability for various modern wireless communication applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
