A Defective Ground Structure (DGS) is an intentionally designed defect on a ground plan, which creates additional effective inductance and capacitance. This technique can be used to design microstrip lines with desired characteristics such as higher impedance, band rejection and slow-wave characteristics, while significantly reducing the footprint of the microstrip structure. DGS structures are used [...]...
