This paper presents a new open stub structure of Kuroda low-pass filter using DGS(Defected Ground Structure). The open stub having 130ohm is made with equivalent new structure using DGS. This method enable to the fabrication of Kuroda low-pass filter by extending width of the line. In case of FR4(er=4.8, h=0.7874mm), the width of open stub(130ohm) is under 0.1mm. But, the width of open stub using DGS can extend to the width of 0.5mm. 5th order Kuroda low-pass filter design using open stub with DGS shows excellent agreement between theoretical simulation and experimental results.
