In this paper a novel low pass filter (LPF) design procedure is proposed for electromagnetic bandgap based microstrip filters without using classical filter design approach. LPF is designed for ultra-wide stopband and sharp roll-off rate via proposed design procedure. It has been shown that finite periodic fan-shaped defected ground structures (FSDGSs) and double radial stubs (DRSs) yield broad stopband and very sharp transition band. The proposed LPF has −3 dB passband from dc to 1.49 GHz, and −20 dB broad stopband from 1.65 GHz up to 7.41 GHz. Full wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation of the proposed filter is achieved with ANSYS's High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and equivalent circuit (EC) model of the filter is proposed and verified via Applied Wave Research (AWR) software. To verify the simulations, filter is realized on ARLON AD1000 substrate, and measured with Agilent 5245A PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer. Measurement results of fabricated filter are in good agreement with EM and EC simulations.

In this paper, microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) filters using various defected ground structures are studied. Miniature microstrip filters employed in transceiver of modern wireless communication systems play vital role in controlling and regulating frequency response. DGS techniques are etched in ground plane to design compact microstrip based low pass, high pass, bandpass and band reject filters used in modern wireless systems. Various modified and hybrid defected ground structure techniques are employed to achieve high return loss, low insertion loss, ultra compactness, good selectivity and linearity in filters. Study reveals that the proper selection and incorporation of DGS techniques while designing microstrip ultra wideband filter optimizes the various vital parameters which enhances its performance and practicability for various modern wireless communication applications.
