Application of the transmission line theory of left-handed (LH) materials to the realization of a microstrip "LH line"

Compact CPW Metamaterial Resonators for High Performance Filters

“…5a illustrates the transmission line model of a TL-based metamaterials and Fig. 5b shows one of the proposed implementations (Caloz & Itoh, 2002). Several applications of TL-based metamaterials have been proposed and experimentally validated.…”

“…Several applications of TL-based metamaterials have been proposed and experimentally validated. For more information, the inclined reader is referred to (Caloz et al, 2002, Iyer & Eleftheriades, 2002, Oliner, 2002. …”

Electrically Small Resonators for Metamaterial and Microwave Circuit Design

“…Soon after the implementation of the first negative refraction index medium (Smith et al, 2000), the same concepts were applied to the synthesis of planar one dimensional media, giving rise to the first left-handed transmission lines (Eleftheriades et al, 2002;Caloz & Itoh, 2002). This first approach devoted to the implementation of metamaterial transmission lines consisted on periodically loading a conventional transmission line with series capacitive and shunt-connected inductive elements.…”

A Three-Band T-Junction Power Divider Based on Artificial Transmission Lines

“…Composite Right/Left-Handed (CRLH) Artificial Transmission Lines (ATLs) [1][2][3][4][5] are the TL implementation of a Double Negative medium [6][7][8][9][10][11], usually implemented by loading a conventional TL with a high-pass network.…”

“…Due to their unusual dispersion properties, CRLH ATLs have attracted widespread interest in recent years [1][2][3][4][5][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and several applications, such as dual-band components [2,14,15], have already been proposed.…”
