In this paper double equilateral U-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) units are applied to relize a size reduced microstrip crossover for Butler matrix application. By embedding the DGS units the size of the microstrip crossover at 900 MHz can be reduced by 14.6% compare to conventional design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
