“…Following our conclusions form [8][9], in this paper we propose a novel microstrip dual-band filter based on NZ propagation. The filter consists of two single-band NZ filters, each of which comprises a microstrip host structure and metamaterial unit cells that provide NZ behaviour.…”

“…As has been shown in [8][9], to achieve impedance matching and to support NZ propagation, a host structure other than a simple microstrip line has to be used. Namely, the host microstrip circuit needs to be designed to exhibit a stopband in the region where NZ propagation is expected.…”

“…It has been shown in [8][9] how one-dimensional NZ media comprised of a CSRR-or SRR-loaded microstrip line can be used to design single-band bandpass filters with good performance and reduced group delay. In this paper, we extended that idea to the design of multi-band filters using the superposition principle.…”

“…In the next step, ENZ and MNZ single-band filters have been separately designed around the same host structure, using the approach presented in [9]. By properly coupling unit cells to the host, a response with transmission zeros conveniently positioned on both sides of the passband has been obtained.…”

In this paper we present a new class of dual-band filters based on near-zero propagation -a new paradigm emerging from recent developments of metamaterials. By using two different metamaterial unit cells and by properly coupling them to a microstrip host, permittivity-and permeability-nearzero propagation is achieved at two different frequencies, thus allowing the design of dual-band filters with arbitrary positioned passbands. At the same time, due to specific properties of NZ propagation, such filters will exhibit low insertion loss and good selectivity, as well as a reduced variation of group delay in comparison to the conventional solutions.
