Harmonics terminated L-band frequency quadrupler using composite right/ left-handed transmission line
نویسندگان
چکیده
A design method for an L-band frequency quadrupler with composite right/left-handed transmission line is proposed. The left-handed transmission line in the proposed frequency quadrupler suppresses the fundamental component ( f0), while the composite right/left-handed l/4 open stub reduces unwanted higher-order harmonics. From the experimental results, unwanted harmonics are suppressed to achieve harmonic distortion of 51 dBc minimum with output phase noise of 294.34 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.

Miniaturized High-Pass Filter Based on Balanced Composite Right-Left Handed Transmission Line Using Meander Spiral Complementary Split Ring Resonators
In this paper, a compact high-pass filter (HPF) with a sharp rejection response based on the balanced composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) concept is proposed. A series LC resonator using an interdigital capacitor and meander lines is designed. Also, a meander spiral complementary split ring resonator (MSCSRR) is used to realize the parallel LC resonator. The high-pass filt...

A new unit cell composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial using microstrip technology with coupled line is proposed. It is simple and has a small size. The proposed unit cell can be designed in several frequency bands based on its geometrical parameters. The transition from LH to RH shows the balanced condition without the presence of stop band. Two designs for two different frequency ban...
متن کاملA Novel Compact Dual Notch Band Filter Based on Metamaterial Concept
Using composite right-left handed (CRLH) transmission line concept, a novel miniaturized dual notch band filter (DNBF) is proposed. The suggested DNBF consists of an interdigital transmission line (ITL), split ring resonators (SRRs) and complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs). Since the resonance frequency of the SRRs and CSRRs are quite independent of each other, the dual notch bands of th...
متن کاملProperties of Envelope Pulses Developed in Coupled Nonlinear Composite Right- and Left-handed Transmission Lines
We investigate the properties of nonlinear envelope pulses developed in a coupled composite rightand left-handed (CRLH) transmission line with regularly spaced Schottky varactors. It is found that the dispersive distortion of the envelope pulses carried by each mode is well compensated by nonlinearity introduced by the varactors. In addition, we numerically observe that the collision of two non...
