  • Abstract
    This letter introduces a DGS slot with an interdigital shape. The resonant frequency of the slot can be easily controlled by changing the length of the metal fingers, without changing the area taken by the structure. Using this slot, two quasi-elliptic low-pass filters were designed, fabricated and tested. The filters have a cut-off frequency of about 3 GHz.
