description The potential application of Defected Ground Structure (DGS) for isolation improvement of RF switch was presented in this thesis. The discrete PIN diode was used as switching element in the RF switch design and the PI diode relatively had a low isolation problem. Mathematical modeling was determined to model the equivalent circuit of the PIN diode with DGS. DGS can be modeled as a parallel connection of capacitor and inductor. Parameter study was applied to understand the relationship between inductance and capacitance of DGS and its dimension where the etched areas and the gap width under the DGS ground plane were strongly correlated with the inductance and capacitance of the DGS.
