A standard dumbbell DGS etched on the Bottom layer of a microstrip circuit. The board measures , whereas the size of the defect is . The microstrip runs on the Top layer between the two connectors. The DGS comprises two square apertures connected with a thin slot (0.3 mm). Microstrip width equals the distance of the two apertures.
