This article describes an analytical modeling of a distributed negative group delay (NGD) circuit presenting a H‐shape topology. It acts as an innovative typical transmission line (TL) based topology with a feedback connected with an open‐stub termination. The equivalent circuit diagram is established based on TL representation of H‐topology constituting elements. The S‐matrix analytical model is developed. To validate the analytical model, a proof‐of‐concept prototype implemented in microstrip topology is designed, simulated, fabricated, and measured. The compared calculated, simulated, and measured S‐parameters are in very good agreement. In addition, the microstrip prototype confirm the bandpass NGD behavior of the H‐topology circuit with NGD value of approximately −2 ns around the center frequency 1.67 GHz.
