In this letter, the numerical and experimental investigation of triangular‐shaped microstrip power divider is designed for C‐band applications using defected ground structure (DGS).Numerical simulations are carried out using different computer‐aided design tools based on different numerical techniques, i.e., Ansoft HFSS and CST Microwave Studio. Good agreement is found between the calculated results using both HFSS and CST. A parametric study is carried out to address the effect of DGS parameters on the performance of the proposed triangular‐shaped microstrip power divider. A power divider prototype is fabricated and tested experimentally. Measured results agree well with numerically calculated results. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
