본 논문에서는 composite right/left-handed 전송 선로를 이용한 주파수 체배기를 제안하였다. 제안된 주파수 체배기의 left-handed 전송 선로는 기본 주파수($f_0$) 성분을 억압하였고, composite right/left-handed ${\lambda}/4$ 개방 스터브는 원하지 않는 고조파 신호 성분들을 제거하였다. Left-handed 전송 선로와 composite right/left-handed ${\lambda}/4$ 개방 스터브를 조합하여 사용함으로, 오직 3차 및 4차 고조파와 같은 원하는 고조파 신호들만을 효과적으로 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문의 타당성을 보이기 위해 기본 주파수를 1 GHz로 하는 주파수 체배기를 설계하고, 측정하였다. 설계된 주파수 체배기의 입력 전력을 0 dBm으로 하였을 때, 측정된 3차 체배기와 4차 체배기의 출력 전력은 각각 -5.67 dBm과 -6.43 dBm이다.

본 논문에서는 CRLH(Composite Righ/Left Handed) 전송선과 PIN 다이오드를 이용한 이중대역 RF 스위치를 제안하였다. 일반적인 RF 스위치가 RH(Right Handed) 전송선 및 PIN 다이오드로 구성되는 것과는 달리, 제안된 RF 스위치는 CRLH 전송선을 이용함으로써 이중대역 특성을 만족하였다. 설계된 CRLH전송선은 Open-Stub를 이용하여 PIN 다이오드 패키지 인덕턴스로 인한 격리도 감소를 해결하였다. RF 스위치는 GSM 주파수 대역인 900MHz와 DCS 주파수 대역인 1.8GHz의 이중 대역에서 설계 및 제작하였다.

In this paper, a homogeneous dual composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) transmission line (TL) is proposed by using a defected ground structure (DGS) on the ground plane. In order to satisfy a homogeneity condition of metamaterial, a subwavelength unit cell is designed by way of a spiral DGS and a meander stub. From a dispersion diagram, it is expected that the frequency bands for the left-handed (LH) property is 3.5 - 4.4 GHz. At 3.8 GHz in the LH band, backward propagating phenomenon is observed from full-wave analysis. The experimental results show that the proposed TL has a stop-band in 1.75 - 3.6 GHz.

본 논문에서는 Metamaterial 전송선을 이용한 이중 대역 저지 필터를 제안하고 제작, 측정하였다. 이는 Wilkinson Power Divider의 형태를 바탕으로, 입력 단자에 신호를 인가하면 동일한 크기와 위상을 갖는 신호로 나눠진다. 이를 각각의 전송선에서 CRLH(Composite Right/Left-Handed) 구조와 D-CRLH(Dual Composite Right/Left-Handed) 구조를 이용하여 위상 변화를 유도한다. 본 논문에서는 TDMB 주파수 대역인 195 MHz와 DVB-T/H 주파수 대역인 670 MHz 대역에 대해 저지 대역 특성을 유도하였다. 이를 통해 제작한 필터의 크기는 $30{\times}15\;mm$ 이며, -10 dB를 기준으로 대역폭을 측정한 결과 각각의 주파수 대역에서 73 %, 50 %의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문은 차동 모드로 동작하는 메타 재질 구조를 바탕으로 평형 필터 설계를 제안한 것이다. 이 메타 재질 구조는 차동 모드 동작에서는 Composite Right/Left-Handed(CRLH) 메타 재질로 동작하여 필터 특성을 갖지만, 공통 모드에서는 통과대역이 차단되는 성질을 갖는 평형 CRLH 단위 셀로 구성되었다. 이러한 차동모드 특성을 갖는 단위 셀을 직렬로 4단을 연결하여 필터를 구성하였으며, 제안된 메타 재질의 특성은 차동 모드 평형 필터로 동작하고, 공통 모드에서는 차단되는 특성을 실험 결과를 통하여 확인하였다. 메타 재질을 이용한 평형 필터는 대역폭이 960 MHz~1000 MHz, 4.1dB의 삽입손실을 갖는 특성을 얻었다.

In this paper, a novel design for a dual-band negative group delay circuit (NGDC) is proposed. Composite right/left-handed (CRLH) ${\lambda}/4$ short stubs are employed as a dual-band resonator. A CRLH ${\lambda}/4$ short stub is composed of a typical transmission line element as the right-handed component and a high-pass lumped element section as the left-handed component. It is possible to simultaneously obtain open impedances at two separate frequencies by the combination of distinctive phase responses of the right/left-handed components. Negative group delay (NGD) can be obtained at two frequencies by using dual-band characteristics of the CRLH stub. In order to achieve a bandwidth extension, the proposed structure consists of a two-stage dual-band NGDC with different center frequencies connected in a cascade. According to the experiment performed, with wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), NGDs of $-3.0{\pm}0.4$ ns and $-3.1{\pm}0.5$ ns are obtained at 2.12~2.16 GHz and 3.46~3.54 GHz, respectively.

In this paper, a unit cell for low pass filter design by using composite right and left-handed transmission line in conductor-backed coplanar waveguide is proposed. The characteristics of the unit cell are analyzed in order to design a low pass filter in small sizes. By changing the sizes of the unit cell, the parameters of right-handed and left-handed immittance components are changed and the desired characteristics of the unit cell are achieved. The equivalent circuit of the unit cell is extracted and analyzed either. As a result, the simulation results of the unit cell and the equivalent circuit are almost identified. The movement and energy distributions of electromagnetic field are shown to confirm the property of the unit cell. In the end, a low pass filter is demonstrated by cascading three proposed unit cells, which shows cutoff frequency of 1.53GHz and deep attenuation from 2.23GHz to 4.49GHz lower than -50dB.

A novel unit cell for a high pass filter was designed based on a composite right/left-handed structure that uses a folded coplanar waveguide. The equivalent circuit model for the unit cell was extracted from the geometry of the unit cell, and the effect of each main parameter of the unit cell was analyzed. The equations to calculate the immittance values of the equivalent circuit elements were formulated, and moreover, the dispersion characteristics and energy the distributions of the electromagnetic fields were simulated to determine the characteristics of the composite right/left-handed structure. Finally, the high pass filters were implemented as a series of the proposed unit cells. We show that the experimental results were in good agreement with those obtained from the simulation. Thus, the high pass filter was found to achieve a baseband insertion loss of 3 dB and a stopband attenuation of 70 dB.

In this work, a broadband composite right/left-handed (CRLH) half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) quadrature Wilkinson power divider is proposed. The proposed CRLH-HMSIW quadrature power divider includes a microstrip Wilkinson power divider on the transition structure between the microstrip and HMSIW, and two thru transmission lines for the HMSIW and the CRLH-HMSIW. The measured amplitude, phase difference and isolation between the two output ports of the proposed structure have 1 dB, ${\pm}5^{\circ}$ and less than -15 dB in a wide frequency range of 4.1-6.68 GHz with 47.9% bandwidth, respectively.

In this paper, we propose to analyze the physical characteristics of a planar dual-composite right-left handed transmission line by a common application of Bond Graph approach and Scattering formalism (Methodology S.BG). The technique, we propose consists, on the one hand, of modeling of a dual composite right-left metamaterial transmission line (D-CRLH-TL) by Bond Graph approach, and, it consists of extracting the equivalent circuit of this studied structure. On the other hand, it consists to exploiting the scattering parameters (Scattering matrix) of the DCRLH-TL using the methodology which we previously developed since 2009. Finally, the validation of the proposed and used technique is carried out by comparisons between the simulations results with ADS and Maple (or MatLab).
