Abstract :
Presented is the design of a planar lowpass filter with stubs separated by transmission lines. To minimise dimensions, the filter is completed by a fractal defected-ground structure (DGS). The fractal DGS filter requires a 20% smaller substrate compared to a conventional filter with stubs.
