A coupled-defected ground structure(C-DGS) having closely-located DGS cells is proposed for high performance bandstop filter applications. The negative coupling of ground currents between adjacent DGS cells greatly improves the stopband characteristics. We have measured the attenuation slope of 110.8 dB/GHz and -20 dB rejection band from 3.8 GHz to 15.5 GHz. Compared to the double-plane BSF, the proposed BSF improved the sharp cutoff response 7.6 times. We expect the C-DGS be helpful to improve the performance of DGS application circuits and also to extend the possible DGS applications.

In this paper, a novel resonator using ring type DGS is proposed for improvement of phase noise characteristics that is weak point of oscillator using planar type microstrip line resonator, and oscillator for 5.8GHz band is designed using proposed DGS resonator. The ring type DGS resonator is composed of DGS cell etched on ground plane under $50{\Omega}$ microstrip line. At the fundamental frequency of 5.8GHz, 7.6dBm output power and -82.7 dBc@100kHz phase noise have been measured for oscillator with ring type DGS resonator. The phase noise characteristics of oscillator is improved about 9.5dB compared to one using the general ${\lambda}/4$ microstrip resonator. Because it is possible that varactor diode or lumped capacitor is placed on the gaps of ring type DGS, resonant frequency can be controlled by bias voltage. We can design voltage controlled oscillator using proposed ring type DGS resonator. Thus, due to its simple fabrication process and planar type, it is expected that the technique in this paper can be widely used for low phase noise oscillators for both MIC and MMIC applications.

In this paper, 2.4GHz WLAN BPF(Band Pass Filter) which has two DGS(Defected Ground Structure) unit cells was simulated and manufactured. To do this, a unit DGS resonator with resonant frequency is designed. Then the BPF for WLAN with the center frequency of 2.4GHz md the bandwidth of 200MHz is designed using two DGS resonator, finally this circuit is fabricated. We also proposed the equivalent circuit of the BPF employing two DGS resonator. The BPF with DGS was obtained experimental results with network analyzer Agilent 8510C. The measured result shows good agreement with simulated data. Experimental results show the center frequency of 2.45GHz, the insertion loss of 1.08dB, and the 3-dB bandwidth of 470MHz(19.5%). Acceding to the measured values, it is found that the fabricated DGS BPF is available for wireless LAN.

This letter presents the design and measured performance of bandpass filters based on a stacked-SIR (stepped impedance resonators) configuration with DGS (Defected Ground Structure). An unit DGS configuration is designed and analyzed to show the phase characteristic of proposed slow-wave structure. The SIR filter with DGS has been yielded better stop band and sharper skirt behavior than conventional bandpass filter.

In this paper, the open ring type DGS(Defected Ground Structure) resonator, applicable to MMIC(Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit), is proposed to improve phase noise characteristics of RF oscillator. This resonator is planar type, therefore, it easy to design miniaturrized., and takes relatively high Q value. Modeling the equivalent parameter of resonator is needed, when designing the RF oscillator with resonator. 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, DGS resonator with 5.8 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, we have proposed a novel DGS(Defected Ground Structure) resonator and has designed the band -pass filter using the proposed ${\subset}$ stub-I type DGS resonator. This structure has strong advantages that can vary the retune loss at the passband freely and also can easily tune the attenuation pole frequency at the stopband. The bandpass filter can be made more smaller than the existing filters and be used to find the various applications for eliminating the harmonics and spurious mode at IMT-2000 band.

DGS 구조의 RF 소자 부품 개발에 응용하기 위해서는 DGS 구조의 대한 정확한 모델링과 등가회로 파라미터의 추출방법에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 집중정수소자 모델링 방법이 연구되어 필터, 스위치 통과 같은 RF 및 마이크로파대 부품에 대한 응용사례가 발표되었다. 그러나 다른 부품들과 결합되는 복합적인 DGS구조를 이용한 소자의 개발 시 기존에 제시되었던 집중정수 소자를 이용한 2-포트 등가 모델링 방법의 적용은 위상이나 전기적 길이의 정보와 같은 물리적인 의미를 표현하기에는 부족한 단점이 있었다. 또한 집중정수 소자를 이용한 2-포트 모델의 단점 중 하나는 등가모델로부터 DGS 식각면의 물리적 크기를 결정하기가 어렵다는 점이다. 물론 특정기판의 정보를 갖는 DGS 구조의 식각의 크기의 변화에 따른 반복적 전자장 시뮬레이션의 결과 데이터로부터 식각 치수의 결정이 가능하나 시간 및 많은 노력이 필요하였다. 따라서 본 논문은 다른 부품과의 결합에 따른 DGS 접지면의 전기적 특성 정보의 추출과 다른 주파수 대역에서의 등가회로 응용성에 대한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 DGS의 구조적 접근 방법으로 새로운 모델링 방법을 제안하였다.

In this paper, a new λ/4 bias transmission line that is added dumbbell-shaped defected ground structure(DGS) on ground plane of the conventional λ/4 bias transmission line is proposed. This DGS λ/4 bias transmission line maintains high characteristic impedance, but physical width is wider and length is shorter than that of the conventional bias line. If the proposed bias line is attached on signal transmission line, this bias line can reduces the $3^{rd}$ harmonic signal as well as the$2^{nd}$ harmonic signal. With harmonic reduction characteristics, efficiency and linearity of amplifier are improved. The proposed bias line is adopted in power amplifier on IMT-2000 base-station transmitting band. This paper presents several simulations and experimental results of DGS to show validity of the proposed power amplifier using the new λ/4 bias transmission line. Experimental results represent that the $3^{rd}$ harmonic signal is reduced about 26.5 dB and efficiency is improved about 9.1 % and IMD3 is improved 4.5 dB than the conventional structure.
