Hi,

The S-parameters for a DGS band-stop filter by EM simulation in shown in the figure below.



The band-stop model can be easily extracted by parallel RLCs. The figure attached below shows the equivalent RLC circuit model with its frequency response.



But the S11 poles or reflection zeros are not reflected in the equivalent circuit extraction. How to fit the first 4 reflection zeros in the response of the extracted model? How can I achieve this?

Your results contradict "can be easily extracted by parallel RLCs".

Obviously, the equivalent circuit is only partly equivalent. That isn't actually surprising when you model a distributed filter with a lumped circuit.
 
After adding transmission lines to represent interaction between DGSs, and after a bit of optimization for its length and width, i am obtaining a frequency response as shown below:



Is the modeling correct? What more do I add to achieve a perfect response? Also, how to extract the lumped elements (R,L,G,C) for the microstrip transmission lines?

I am attaching the schematic for the circuit;
