In this paper, a double lorentz composite right left handed(DL-CRLH) transmission line is designed using defected ground structure (DGS) and varactor diodes. Previously, the diode has been adopted only selectively for one of parallel or series resonators, and the balanced frequency as well as triple band frequencies were fixed. However in the proposed DL-CRLH transmission line, the balanced frequency, where the resonant frequencies of the series-connected parallel resonator and shunt-connected series resonator are the same, is adjustable. In addition, the triple band frequencies are controlled, too. The measured balanced frequency varies between 3.42~4.8GHz according to the controlled bias voltage. Under the same bias condition for the balanced frequency, the adjusted frequencies are 2.22~2.77GHz, 3.7~5.2GHz, 7.32~8.23GHz, 3.42~4.8GHz, and 4.44~5.92GHz for the conditions that ${\beta}d=+0.5{\pi}$, $-0.5{\pi}$, 2nd $+0.5{\pi}$, ${\omega}_{\infty}$, and ${\omega}_o$, respectively.

In this paper, the Square Split Ring Resonator(: SRR) of Defected Ground Structure(: DGS), applicable to MMIC(: Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) design, is proposed. The mathematical method to solve the equivalent parameter of the resonator from the measured results of resonator is introduced in this paper. To verify the method, SRR-DGS resonator with 2.95 GHz center frequency is fabricated, for measuring characteristics and calculating the equivalent parameter. The result from this process is compared with the data of the ADS simulation, and as a result both were identical.

In this paper, the novel method is proposed to realize the parallel coupled line band pass filter using defected ground structure(DGS) inverter. This method provides simple solution which easily resolves the limit of line width happened due to high impedance on the occasion of designing filter composed of line inverter. On the basis of the proposed method and conventional method, the band pass filters haying 13.3% fractional bandwidth were designed and implemented. The measured data of two filters show usually good agreement with each other, but on the other hand the length of proposed filter become shorten about 15mm and the width of inverter line was expanded two times or more in comparison with conventional filter.

In this work, a reduced size 20W quasi class-E Power Amplifier(PA) with defected ground structure load-network is presented for WCDMA base station application. Harmonic impedances required for the class E operation are satisfied by applying the dumbbell and the asymmetric spiral DGS. Open impedance for 2nd harmonic frequency which has the highest power and nearly short impedances for other higher order harmonics are provided by the proposed DGS load-network. The maximum Power Added Efficiency(PAE) of 70.2 % at the output power of 43.1 dBm with the saturated power gain of 12.7 dB is achieved by the proposed quasi class-E PA, which is comparable to the performance of the reference class-E PA. Total size of the proposed class-E PA is only $50{\times}50\;mm^2$ and much smaller than the conventional class-E PA that is loaded with a number of open stubs.

In this paper, a compact Ultra-Wideband band-pass filter with notched band at 5.8GHz by using LC resonator is proposed. The structure of the proposed band-pass filter is very simple, and the DGS(Defected Ground Structure) is used to get the low-pass filter characteristics and the LC resonator is used to get the notched filter. The proposed band-pass filter can be much smaller than a cascaded filter type. The LC resonator is designed with a radial stub and small stub. As a result of measurement, the insertion loss is less than 0.5dB throughout the pass-band of 2.21GHz~10.92GHz, the return loss is more than 16dB and the maximum variation of group delay is 0.29ns and a notched band is 5.2GHz~6.2GHz.

This paper presents a slot-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) which has multi-band rejection property. The proposed structure, in which the spiral slot-shaped defects with different size are aligned in the transverse direction to the guiding direction of the coplanar waveguide(CPW), provides multiple resonance frequencies. Compared with the simulated results, the band rejection characteristic is in good agreement with the measurement. Also, an equivalent circuit model of the proposed structure is presented, where the DGS on the ground plane is modeled as LC-resonators. This resonators are inductively coupled to the signal line through mutual inductance. From the equivalent circuit model, multi-band rejection property was derived.

We present experimental demonstrations of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures for the wideband suppression of radiated emissions from a power bus in high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs). In most of the PCB designs, a parallel plate waveguide (PPW) structure is employed for a power bus. This structure significantly produces the wideband-radiated emissions resulting from parallel plate modes. To suppress the parallel plate modes in the wideband frequency range, the power buses based on the electromagnetic bandgap structure with a defected ground structure (DGS) are presented. DGSs are applied to a metal plane that is connected to a rectangular EBG patch by using a via structure. The use of the DGS increases the characteristic impedance value of a unit cell, thereby substantially improving the suppression bandwidth of the radiated emissions. It is experimentally demonstrated that the DGS-EBG structure significantly mitigates the radiated emissions over the frequency range of 0.5 GHz to 2 GHz as compared to the PPW.

In this paper, A compact ultra-wideband(UWB) bandpass filter(BPF) with WLAN notched filter has been proposed. H-shaped slot is studied and adopted to tighten the coupling of inter-digital capacitor in order to improve the BPF's performance. Three pairs of tapered defected ground structures(DGS) are formed to assign their transmission zeros towards the out of band signal, thereby suppressing the spurious passband. Also Meander line slot is developed to reject the undesired wireless local-area network(WLAN) radio signals. That's combining these three structures we obtain a small sized UWB BPF.

In this paper, the application of a variable characteristic impedance transmission line that can be used to design a dual-band bandpass filter(BPF) is presented. The proposed filter offers a fixed first frequency passband and a controllable second passband. The tuning of the second passband is achieved by varying the characteristic impedance of and open shunt stub line in a stub loaded resonator(SLR) with the help of a defected ground structure(DGS) transmission line and varactor diodes. In order to validate the proposed structure, a two stage dual-band BPF with three transmission zeros was implemeted and experimentally verified based on its theoretical predictions and simulations.

This paper describes the improvement in performance of power amplifiers by Defected Ground Structure (DGS) for several operating classes. Due to its excellent capability of harmonic rejection, DGS plays a threat role in improving the main performance of power amplifiers such as output power, power added efficiency, harmonic rejection, and intermodulation distortion (IMD3). In order to verify the improvement in performance of power amplifiers by DGS, measured data for a 30 Watts power amplifier with and without DGS attached under several operating classes are illustrated and compared. The principle of the performance improvement is described with simple Volterra nonlinear transfer functions. Also, the measured performance far two cases, i.e. with and without DGS, and the quantities of improvement fur the various operating classes are compared and discussed.
