Using EM to Design DGS Structures

February 1st, 2010 · No Comments · White papers

A Defective Ground Structure (DGS) is an intentionally designed defect on a ground plan, which creates additional effective inductance and capacitance.  This technique can be used to design microstrip lines with desired characteristics such as higher impedance, band rejection and slow-wave characteristics, while significantly reducing the footprint of the microstrip structure.  DGS structures are used [...]
