Defected Ground Structure: Fundamentals, Analysis, and Applications in Modern Wireless Trends

الملخص EN

Slots or defects integrated on the ground plane of microwave planar circuits are referred to as Defected Ground Structure.

DGS is adopted as an emerging technique for improving the various parameters of microwave circuits, that is, narrow bandwidth, cross-polarization, low gain, and so forth.

This paper presents an introduction and evolution of DGS and how DGS is different from former technologies: PBG and EBG.

A basic concept behind the DGS technology and several theoretical techniques for analysing the Defected Ground Structure are discussed.

Several applications of DGS in the field of filters, planar waveguides, amplifiers, and antennas are presented.
