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...

We investigate experimentally the collisions of nonlinear envelope pulses in a left-handed transmission line with regularly spaced Schottky varactors. By measuring the test line, we successfully observed that when two nonlinear envelope pulses traveling in opposite directions collide, two new envelope pulses are developed. These new pulses satisfy the phase-matching condition, and their carrier...

The design presented here mainly focuses on implementation of a broadband Wilkinson balun using composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line. This has its components, namely Wilkinson power divider (WPD), microstrip phase shift line and CRLH unit cell along with interdigital capacitor, which forms base of the unit cell. The designing and implementation of WPD, CRLH unit cell and Interdi...

A novel kind of symmetrical backward-wave coupled-line coupler with arbitrary coupling level is proposed in this paper which is based on resonant-type composite right-/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH TLs). First, an equivalent circuit model and procedure for circuit parameters extraction are presented to reveal the inherent nature of the unit cell of the CRLH coupler. Then a CRLH TL compos...

A novel structure of dual-composite right/left-handed transmission line (D-CRLH-TL) is proposed in this paper, and its electromagnetic characteristics are investigated in theory and simulation. The dispersion curve of the proposed structure has been derived by using Bloch-Floquet theory. The structure is composed with an “H”-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) and two stubs with rectangular ...

We report experimental results at 1.057 GHz that demonstrate the ability of a planar left-handed lens, with a relative refractive index of -1, to form images that overcome the diffraction limit. The left-handed lens is a planar slab consisting of a grid of printed metallic strips over a ground plane, loaded with series capacitors (C) and shunt inductors (L). The measured half-power beamwidth of...

We demonstrate experimentally a mechanism of the soliton generation in nonlinear active metamaterials. Our meta-structure consists of a ring resonator formed by a microwave amplifier loaded with a left-handed transmission line. We demonstrate a variety of nonlinear effects not described by weakly nonlinear models, and study experimentally the system’s spatiotemporal dynamics, including the gene...

In this paper, we study the extraction of some analytical solutions to nonlinear perturbed sine-Gordon equation with long Josephson junction properties. The model studied was formed observe properties separated by two superconductors. Moreover, it is also used explain effect arising in highly nature junctions. This provides shunt inductances realize a left-handed transmission line. A powerful s...
