In this work, we present a novel compact hairpin defected ground structure (DGS) bandpass and lowpass microstrip filter using two hairpin‐slots etched in the ground plane. A compact microstrip BPF using coupled DGS resonators is designed using coupling matrix method. The designed BPF showed very wide stopband with two transmission zeros. Furthermore, a simple technique to transform the designed BPF to a LPF was presented. The BPF was fabricated and measured. The measurement results showed good agreement with the theoretical and simulation results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
