In this paper a four-pole elliptic function bandpass filter is designed with two ground slots. A research of microstrip bandpass filters (BPF) using defected ground structures (DGS) is presented. DGS technique allows designs of tight couplings without the necessity of using very narrow coupling gaps. The simulator Sonnet is used to design the resonator and to calculate the coupling coefficient of the basic coupling structure. Compared to similar microstrip filters without defected ground structure, the simulated performances of these novel structures indicate some technological advantages.

This paper presents a novel modeling technique for traces that cross a defected ground structure. A simple and accurate equivalent circuit model provides clear insight into the coupling mechanism between a microstrip line and a slot or split. The circuit models consist of a transformer as the coupling mechanism and LC resonators as the ground with a slot or split structure. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are added to the model to increase accuracy and equivalence at high frequency. Simulated and measured S-parameters are presented for defected ground structures. The accuracy and validity of the proposed equivalent circuit model is verified by evaluation of the S-parameter characteristics of the defected ground structures and comparison with measured results.

A dispersion analysis is performed to estimate the stopband characteristics of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures with defected ground structures (DGS) of various shapes. Design guidelines are suggested for both elliptical and rectangular DGS patterns that result in a maximum stopband bandwidth for a given perforation area. This method provides a basis for numerical optimization techniques that can be used in synthesizing DGS shapes to meet bandgap requirements and layout constraints.

New phase shifters with higher phase shift values are presented using defected ground structures(DGSs). The varactor diodes are mounted on DGSs of termination loads to control the large phase variation of the DGS at resonance. Two types of phase shifters are implemented with a branch-line and a coupled line hybrid. The experimental results of the proposed phase shifters show $135\%$ and $221\%$ increases in maximum phase shills, respectively, compared with those of conventional ones.

In this paper, a microwave tag system of a frequency-scanning type is proposed with multi-resonators using defected ground structures. While a conventional chip-based RFID stores time-sequential codes, the proposed type achieves pure passive tags by using multi-resonant bits over a frequency range. Moreover, the resonators of the spiral defected ground structures implemented on the back side of transmission lines have advantages of the excellent bandstop characteristics as well as the bit-error avoidance by the re-radiation on normal resonators. The proposed microwave tag is designed with UWB antennas at 3~7 GHz. From the experimental results in an anechoic chamber, it has been verified of the excellent recognitions for various 5-bits identification codes.

In this paper, Coplanar Waveguide(CPW) low-pass filter with the spurious-reduced is designed by using Defected Ground Structures(DGS). Two different LPF unit cells and DGS pattern are combined to reduce the spurious. In comparison to a conventional step impedance LPF, the size of proposed LPF as 17.2mm*6.8mm is several times smaller. The simulation and measurements confirm that spurious characteristics is presented less than -30dB($S_{21}$) to three times cut off frequency.

A frequency-dependent slow-wave factor (SWF) and equivalent circuit model of transmission line with defected ground structures (DGS) is described. Once S-parameters of a DGS transmission line are given, the conventional frequency -independent equivalent circuit elements are extracted using 3dB cutoff and resonant frequencies (Fc and Fo) as the first step. Using the initial equivalent elements and simple transmission line theories, a frequency-dependent equivalent transmission line model is established through an analytical method, and finally the frequency dependent SWF is calculated. The proposed equivalent circuit model and SWF are frequency-dependent and more reliable because even small insertion loss within available passband is considered, while they have been independent of frequency.

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, a flexible wireless power receiving system is proposed for wearable device applications. The proposed system is designed with printable component configuration to be integrable to textile material. While the defected ground structures(DGSs) are utilized for planar printable filter designs, direct impedance matching technique is considered for flexible circuit performance. The proposed system has been implemented on a flexible substrate with a thickness of 5 mils, and experimented for power conversion efficiencies and converted voltages. In order to evaluate the hardware flexibility, the system performance are measured a bended circuit board at a radius of curvature of 5 cm. The system performance is analyzed for the degradation due to the curvature. The proposed system has shown the excellent capability of far-field wireless power transfer systems in flexible device environments.
