A metamaterial inspired co-planar waveguide (CPW) fed compact low-pass filter is presented in this paper. The 3 dB cutoff frequency of the filter is 1.4 GHz. The roll-off rate achieved for this filter is 47.4 dB/GHz. Sharp roll-off is obtained by introducing an additional resonance using an inductor in series with the shunt capacitor. The usage of chip inductor also results in a compact filter structure. The overall filter dimensions are 39 mm × 32 mm × 1.6 mm. The filter uses defected ground structure (DGS) for attaining stop band attenuation. The measured insertion loss of the filter in the pass band is less than 0.8 dB and average stop band attenuation is better than 23 dB. The equivalent circuit of the proposed filter is similar to that of a dual-CRLH (D-CRLH) transmission line.
