Defected Ground Structure (DGS) Based Antennas: Design Physics, Engineering, and Applications [Book Review]

This book takes you on an exciting journey into the world of antennas designed with defected ground structures (DGSs). It covers a wide range of interesting and timely topics. The authors, Prof. Debatosh Guha, Prof. Chandrakanta Kumar, and Prof. Sujoy Biswas, who are globally recognized experts in the field of antennas, have compiled a comprehensive collection of subjects. These topics span from the foundational elements of DGSs, involving the modeling, examination, and creation of DGS equivalent circuits, to discussions on DGSs for printed antenna feeds, control of unwanted modes under a microstrip patch to reduce cross-polarized radiation, and mutual coupling in arrays and multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) designs. The applications of DGSs extend not only to printed antennas but also to planar inverted-F and dielectric resonator antennas.
