Characteristics of the Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Lines
[attachment=31047]
Abstract
The composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission
line (TL) is presented as a general TL possessing both
left-handed (LH) and right-handed (RH) natures. The dispersion
diagram of the two-dimensional (2-D) CRLH-TL is obtained
analytically based on the Bloch-Floquet theory, and the unique
phenomenon of infinite guided-wavelength propagation, with
nonzero group velocity at a nonzero frequency, is explained. It is
shown analytically that when the CRLH TL is “balanced,” two
eigenfrequencies at the
