Parametric studies on effects of defected ground structure (DGS) for dual band bandstop microstrip filter.

A dual-band bandstop microstrip filter is proposed and designed by using microstrip resonator with Defected Ground Structure (DGS). The DGS are placed in the ground plane to obtain high attenuation of the bandstop filter response. The proposed is designed by using R04003C printed circuit board with dimension of 38 mm x 20 mm. Simulated result shows an insertion loss of -12.31 dB, a return loss at –1.75 dB for center frequency at 2.4 GHz and insertion loss of -22.93 dB, a return loss of –0.78 dB for center frequency at 5.8 GHz The results of simulated in different parameters of DGS is analysed and discussed.
