Equivalent circuit analysis of left handed SRR loaded metamaterial waveguides Jorge Carbonell, Luis J. Roglá, Vicente E. Boria Abstract -- This paper reports the Left-Handed (LH) behavior of a novel transmission structure in waveguide technology taking benefit of a negative permeability synthesized via Split-Ring Resonators (SRRs). To overcome some of the existing limitations of previously reporte

Digital phase shifters based on rightand left-handed transmission lines Irina B. Vendik1, Orest G. Vendik2, Dmitry V. Kholodnyak1, Elena V. Serebryakova', Polina V. Kapitanova' Abstract -- Digital phase shifters based on switching between transmission lines with positive and negative dispersion can be designed as miniature microwave devices operating in a wide frequency range. Design of the switch

Broadband highly selective bandpass filter based on a Tapered Coupled-Resonator (TCR) CRLH structure Hoang Van Nguyen, Christophe Caloz Abstract -- A highly selective bandpass filter (BPF) based on a tapered coupled-resonator (TCR) composite right/lefthanded (CRLH) structure is presented. This filter exhibits a measured fractional bandwidth in excess of 110% and can therefore be used in ultra wid

Artificial magnetic conductors enhancing the wave propagation in oversized parallel plate waveguides for planar antenna applications José-Manuel Fernández', Pablo Padilla de la Tone, Manuel Sierra-Castaner Abstract -- Electromagnetic BandGap (EBG) structures have unique properties in controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves. In this work we analyze the effect of EBG structures acting a

Application of left handed superstrates to improve radiation performances of dipole antennas , Elena ,Saenz1 Inigo Ederra l , Ramón Gonzalo', Peter de Maagt2 Abstract -- In this paper, radiation properties of dipole antennas with Left Handed Media (LHM) superstrates are analysed. A uniform LHM superstrate with cells tuned to the antenna's resonant frequency and a non-uniform LHM superstrate which

An extended equivalent circuit based FDTD scheme for the efficient simulation of CRLH metamaterials Andreas Rennings', Simon Otto2, Andreas Lauer2, Cristophe Caloz3, Peter Waldow2 Abstract -- A novel formulation of the well-known finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme is proposed. This formulation consists in an extension of the equivalent circuit (EC) description of the Yee cell including a

A vision of metamaterials in Europe: the Network of Excellence METAMORPHOSE Ferran Martin', Filiberto Bilotti2, Irina Vendik3, Vladimir Podlozny4, Sergei Tretyakov4 Abstract -- The main aim of this paper is to highlight the activities developed at the European level in the field of metamaterials. The number of Research Groups, Laboratories and Institutes active in this research area has grown dram

1D volume metamaterial derived from LH parallel strips Jan Machac', Pavel Buchar', Jan Zehentner', Abbas S. Omar' Abstract -- A left-handed parallel strip transmission line, the simplest example of a left-handed medium, is analyzed by various methods in this paper. The design, analysis, fabrication and measurement of a new 10 volume metamaterial is reported. The new medium is made up of left-han
