Filter is an important element in micro-circuit and it has been widely used in practical. The novel H-shaped DGSs(defected ground structure)were proposed based on traditional ones, and their transmission characteristic were investigated. Then a low pass filter was designed using the novel proposed structures. The simulation and measurement results match perfectly,and the measured results show that the 3 dB cut-off frequency of the designed filter is 8. 9 GHz, its insertion loss is smaller than 0. 3 dB, and the biggest side lamella of return loss is better than 20 dB. Additionally, the low filter has many other advantages such as the simple structure, the small volume, the low cost. So, this ultra-wideband low pass filter can be widely used in microwave circuits.
