University of California, Los Angeles Undergraduate Research Program in Electrical Engineering Summer 2003 (June 16 – August 8) Application of Defected Ground Structures in Microstrip Line Forward Coupler Sai-Wang Tam (Rocco) Advisor: Professor Tatauo Itoh 1 Abstract: In this report, we will study the Typically the shape of the slot is application of defected ground modified from a simple hole to a more structure for forward coupler in micro- complicated geometry. A dvantage of strip transmission line. We will DGS is that it can easily be extracted compare the HFSS simulation results an equivalent circuit by an and experimental results. We will also experimental method. The area of the formulate the theoretical explanation DGS represents the inductance while how DGS controls the coupling the connecting slot gives the coefficient of forward coupler. capacitance [2]. In this report, we apply the concept of slow wave effect Introduction: from DGS to design high coupling The defected ground structure is effect forward coupler. motivated by a study of one type of photonic band gap structure (PBG). Let us consider the following forward The photonic band gap structure is coupler without DGS . typically a periodic structure as shown in Fig.1. In the examp
