Dual-Band Branch Line Coupler using CRLH Transmission Lines
نویسنده
چکیده
A branch-line coupler (BLC) working at two arbitrary frequencies using CRLH transmission lines (TLs) is presented. It is demonstrated that the two operating frequencies can be obtained by tuning the phase slope of the different line sections. A prototype is demonstrated using only microstrip technology.

Some studies on metamaterial transmission lines and their applications
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 ...
متن کاملDiversity Monopulse Antenna Based on a Dual-frequency and Dual Mode Crlh Rat- Race Coupler
A diversity monopulse antenna is presented in this paper. This monopulse antenna is based on a dual frequency dual mode ratrace coupler that has been designed by using Composite Right/Left Handed (CRLH) Transmission Lines (TL). The device has two input ports while the (Σ) and (Δ) outputs are interchangable at either of the two operating frequencies. In this way the monopulse antenna can work at...

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...

In this paper we propose the use of Composite Right/Left Hand (CRLH) and Extended Composite Right/Left Hand (ECRLH) transmission lines for the design of dual band high efficiency power amplifiers working in CE class. The harmonic termination can be synthesized using the meta-lines is particularly suitable for CE class amplifiers, which have a termination not as sensitive to the third harmonic a...
متن کاملUsing a VIA-Less CRLH Transmission Line to Design Compact Wilkinson Power Dividers and Rat-Race Couplers
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...
