Miniaturized band-stop filter based on multilayer-technique and new coupled octagonal defected ground structure with interdigital capacitor

In this paper, a novel narrow band microstrip band-reject filter is designed using three circular shape defected ground structure (DGS). Three circular shape defected ground structure are linked by a path in the ground plane where etching process is applied. The path length of middle DGS cell is 8 mm and the path length of corner DGS cell is 11 mm whereas the path width of all three DGS cell is 0.6 mm and the radius of circular shape defected ground structure is 2.1 mm. The mid-stop band frequency of the designed filter is 1.61 GHz which is applicable for the satellite and radar communication for the purpose of S-Band. The stop bandwidth of proposed filter is 1 GHz to 2.2 GHz which is useful for narrowband communication. The proposed filter has minimum return loss of 0.11 dB and maximum insertion loss of 60 dB at mid stop-band frequency 1.61 GHz. IE3D 14.1 EM simulation tool is applied for finding out the desired outcome. The proposed microstrip band stop filter has a coverage area of (35.1 mm× 14.4 mm) 505.44 mm2 for the top layer and (16.6 mm× 19 mm) 315.4 mm2 for the ground layer which is more compact as compared to other existing band stop filter designs.

This study proposes a high-sensitivity microwave sensor based on an interdigital-capacitor-shaped defected ground structure (IDCS-DGS) in a microstrip transmission line for the dielectric characterization of planar materials. The proposed IDCS-DGS was designed by modifying the straight ridge structure of an H-shaped aperture. The proposed sensor was compared with conventional sensors based on a double-ring complementary split ring resonator (CSRR), a single-ring CSRR, and a rotated single-ring CSRR. All the sensors were designed and fabricated on 0.76-mm-thick RF-35 substrate and operated at 1.5 GHz under unloaded conditions. Five different standard dielectric samples with dielectric constants ranging from 2.17 to 10.2 were tested for the sensitivity comparison. The sensitivity of the proposed sensor was measured by the shift in the resonant frequency of the transmission coefficient, and compared with conventional sensors. The experiment results show that the sensitivity of the proposed sensor was two times higher for a low permittivity of 2.17 and it was 1.42 times higher for a high permittivity of 10.2 when compared with the double-ring CSRR-based sensor.
