PERFORMANCE OF LOW PASS FILTER USING GROUND DEFECTED STRUCTURE

The low pass filter is used in many application of microwave communication. Therefore its necessary to design a good low pass filter for the faithful reproduction of wanted signals. Previously methods used to design the low pass filter using insertion loss method don’t give a very good flat response. So, a new method has been proposed for the filter design which gives a good response as compared to the conventional designs. A new DGS (Defected Ground Structure) technique to design a low pass filter is proposed here, ground is defected or cut in a desire shape which improves its performance. The size of filter is also reduced.
