Optimizing Microstrip Lines Using Defected Ground Structures (DGS) Chris Raider
Introduction • What do we already know? • What are Defected Ground Structures? • How can they be used to optimize microstrip lines?
Benefits of DGS • Suppress unwanted signals • Allow for more compact dimensions • Stopband Effects, Slow wave Effect, High ZO
Various Geometries • Dumbbell: • Slot:
Designing DGS • Equivalent circuit dependent on S-Parameters • No direct correlation between physical dimensions and LC parameters • Guess and check method
Equivalent Circuits • LC / RLC Circuit • Pi Shaped Circuit • Quasi-Static Circuit
Next Research Steps… • Look into an “easier” geometry • May simulate, will attempt to mathematically evaluate • Finish the report
