Basic left-handed transmission line (LH-TL) characteristics made on PCB is an important future issue for the application of the EMC field. In this paper, possibility of a LHTL characteristic made by a folded-stepped impedance resonator (F-SIR) type is investigated experimentally and theoretically as a first time. The calculations by FDTD and/or FEM (HFSS) show the usability of the LH-TL. The ex...

A method for design and implementation of a compact via-less Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Line (CRLH TL) is presented. By introducing a new circuit model, the CRLH transmission line behavior is studied versus the parameters variations to achieve the desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. Then a compact quarter wavelength CRLH transmission line with 70 Ω characte...

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 achiev...

This thesis work focuses mostly on investigating different potential applications of meta-transmission line (TL), particularly composite right/left handed (CRLH) TL and analyzing the new phenomena and applications of meta-TL, mostly left-handed (LH) TL, on other realization principle. The fundamental electromagnetic properties of propagation in the presence of left-handed material, such as the ...
