Abstract
This paper presents a novel low-pass filter (LPF) with sharp rejection, wide stopband and compact size, which are realized by the defected ground structure (DGS) and the defected microstrip structure (DMS). The equivalent circuit model is proposed and the circuit parameters are extracted by the circuit simulation software. The parameters measured are 3 dB cutoff frequency f c of 5.2 GHz, the insertion loss less than 0.5 dB from DC to 4.0 GHz and S21 less than −20 dB within the wide stopband from 6 GHz to 16 GHz. The results of the circuit optimization agree well with those of the full wave simulation and the measured ones, which validate the effectiveness of the equivalent circuit model. The size of the proposed LPF is decreased compared with normal LPF. This LPF can be applied in rectennas to eliminate high order harmonics.
