Forward coupling phenomena between artificial left-handed transmission lines

چکیده
Coupling phenomena between artificial left-handed ~LH! transmission lines are explored on the basis of a transmission line approach of LH materials. A LH forward coupler in the form of an ideal lumped-element ladder network is presented and is shown to exhibit strong forward coupling that increases with decreasing of frequency. A quasi-lumped element microstrip implementation of a LH coupler is proposed. It is demonstrated that this coupler requires a shorter coupling length in comparison with the conventional right-handed coupled-line forward couplers, and hence makes the device much more compact. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1512682#

A Compact Ultra-Wideband Filter Based on Left Handed Transmission Line by Using Complementary Split Ring Resonators and Series Capacitor
A compact and sharp rejection UWB microstrip bandpass filter is developed using left handed metamaterials. For realizing a backward-wave propagation medium, two split ring resonator (CSRR) in the back substrate side and also one series capacitor etched in the host line, are used to produce a negative effective ε and μ, simultaneously. Moreover, in the proposed structure, two doublets parallel c...
متن کاملLeaky Wave Antenna Realization by Compos- Ite Right/left-handed Transmission Line
This paper presents a realization of composite right/left handed transmission lines using coupled microstrip lines. This structure exploits the advantages of the microstrip lines, while increases the coupling by a floating conductor at the ground plane. The performance of this composite right/left-handed line is demonstrated by both simulated and measured results, and they show good agreement. ...

متن کاملDistributed Amplifiers with Composite Left/right-handed Transmission Lines
The use of so-called “composite left/right-handed transmission lines” in the design of distributed amplifiers is discussed using a simple model for the active device. The simplified analysis performed herein shows that it is possible to modify the frequency response of forward and reverse power gains, a significant development which could lead to innovative distributed amplifier designs. © 2006...

Composite transmission lines are one of the main developments in the increasingly popular field of electromagnetic metamaterials, artificial electromagnetic structures with both negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability (Caloz & Itoh, 2005). These structures present a backward wave or left-handed (LH) propagation instead of the conventional right-handed one. The first experimenta...
