This paper presents a highly birefringent dispersion compensating microstructure modified decagonal photonic crystal fiber for broadband transmission communication system. According to simulation, negative dispersion coefficient of -610 ps/(nm.km) and a relative dispersion slope (RDS) close to that of single mode fiber of about 0.0036 nm^-1 with birefringence of the order 2.1×10^-2 was obtained at 1550 nm. The variation of structural parameters is also studied to evaluate the tolerance of the fabrication. Moreover, effective area, residual dispersion, effective dispersion, confinement loss, and nonlinear coefficient of the proposed modified decagonal photonic crystal fiber (M-DPCF) are also mentioned and discussed.
