Description
Summary:This paper presents the design of reconfigurable defected ground structure (DGS) resonator that can be integrated with ultrawide-band (UWB) microwave filter to produce bandpass and bandstop response simultaneously. The reconfigurable DGS is designed based upon coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology to exhibit bandstop characteristic at 3.5 GHz and 5.5 GHz using FR-4 on a 1.6 mm dielectric substrate thick with dielectric constant er = 4.6. The simulation performance shows promising results that could be further validated during the experimental works. This topology of reconfigurable DGS is useful for applications when the undesired signals need to be removed such as in wideband systems.
