The proposed ECM is based on microstrip lines and microstrip-slotline transitions. Every slotlines of the DGS unit are modeled by ideals transmission lines of characteristic impedance and electrical length. Comparison between full-wave EM and circuit simulations illustrates the validity of the proposed ECMenCircuit ModelingMicrostrip-SlotlineLow-PassTransmissionCircuit modeling and EM simulation verification of DGS based Low-Pass filter employing transmission line model along with Microstrip-Slotline transitionsArticle
