Enhancing the Performance of Microstrip Circuit Using Defected Ground Structure
About this article
Abstract
This paper focuses how to enhance the performance of microstrip circuits using DGS. A DGS is a defected ground structure where the ground plane metal of a microstrip circuit is intentially modified to enhance performance. Finally, the main application of DGS in microwave technology fields are summarized and the evolution trend of DGS is given.
