The problem of scattering of plane electromagnetic wave on the infinite microstrip lattice with nonlinear loads in the strip plane was solved with help of integral equations method, when a metamaterial (MM) is used as lattice substrate. It is shown that application of MM in microstrip lattice as a substrate (instead of a dielectric) provides alignment of levels of the higher harmonics in comparison with first harmonic in the reflected field. It is reached due to suppression of fundamental harmonic in the reflected field.

Also it is shown a possibility to increase the efficiency of the infinite microstrip lattice with the nonlinear elements, with a using of MM as a substrate, by means of a constructive synthesis of the geometrical sizes of the lattice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
