The lattice, and gap distance can all be varied with a few central Project Variables to permit analysis of any similar DGS. Or, a parametric sweep can generate and maintain
results for many variations at once.

Reference [4] : Due to the increased effective inductance of the DGS, the aspect ratio of the 158 W microstrip line has been increased to 235% and the length of l/4 has been reduced to 83%. The fabricated conductor width of the 158 W microstrip line were 0.4mm, while 0.17mm for the conventional one. The enlarged conductor width and reduced length has a great advantage in design and realization such a high impedance line and smaller circuit. The fabricated 4:1 divider showed excellent matching and isolation, and exact dividing ratios of -1dB and -7dB at port 2 and port 3 without additional losses induced by the DGS over 1.2 ~ 1.8GHz.
