A new Defected ground Structure with bandstop filter characteristics

In this paper, a new asymmetric type Defected ground Structure (DGS) is investigated. The proposed DGS unit comprising of three numbers of square shaped slots separated from each other by same distance connect a rectangular slot by thin meander slots underneath a microstrip line. In its frequency characteristics, a finite attenuation zero is observed near to its attenuation pole frequency. The investigated unit is modeled by a Causer Π-network consisting of a series resonant and a shunt resonant circuit. For a given dimension of the DGS, the equivalent LC parameters are extracted. The investigated DGS exhibits a sharp and deep bandstop filtering characteristics. The size of the DGS is very compact as the overall cutout area is 0.3 λg X 0.18 λg
