International audienceThis article presents a composite right–left-handed (CLRH) zeroth-order resonator designed on a ferrite substrate. Numerical modelling and measurements of the device are presented. The proposed structure is realized in coplanar waveguide configuration using an interdigital capacitor and a shortcircuited stub inductor to add the left-handed property to the resonator. The ferrite substrate is magnetized in a direction perpendicular to the propagation direction. The tunable nature of the proposed device can be achieved by changing the applied magnetic bias. The resonator is designed to be tuned over the 3–5 GHz frequency band. Measured insertion loss is 5 dB giving interesting perspectives for the device. The length of the proposed device is 5.2 mm, which can be considered very small compared with a traditional half wave resonator
Abstract-This paper presents a coplanar composite right-left handed zeroth-order resonator (CRLH CPW ZOR) and a coplanar composite right-left handed transmission line (CRLH CPW TL). These devices are realized using an elementary cell designed in a coplanar waveguide configuration on alumina substrate. Additional lumped elements are carried out with an interdigital series capacitor and a short-circuited stub inductor as a shunt. The CRLH CPW ZOR is fabricated and analyzed using equivalent circuit modeling and three dimensional finite element method. The proposed devices are fabricated and measured. The resonator has a measured insertion loss of 2.7 dB and a return loss better than 13 dB. The length of the proposed device is only 5.2 mm; this very small size compared with a traditional half wave resonator, shows the interest of this kind of approach.
Reconfigurable antennas based on magnetised ferrite substrate and electronic components present a remarkable interest for nowadays antennas. The present research contribution deals to investigate an efficient multiband tuneable triangular microstrip antenna with acceptable characteristics, able to operate from 2.6 GHz to 5.8 GHz requiring frequency and polarization agility by dual reconfigurability using a YIG (Yttrium Iron Garnet) substrate and PIN diode. Different magnetic bias fields were applied to the proposed antenna for ON and OFF states. The obtained results and analysis demonstrate the efficiency of magnetic frequency tuning and a high stability of the radiated field, the antenna bandwidth can reach 1300 MHz for ON state, and a maximum tuning range close to 550 MHz is observed. The proposed antenna design exhibits a linear polarization and stable E and H–plane radiation pattern performance at resonance frequencies over the operating bands. These characteristics make the antenna suitable for multiband wireless communications requiring frequency agility.
