At the interface of two materials with frequency-dependent material-parameters of permittivity and permeability, there may exist two kinds of surface polaritons: surface electric-polaritons(SEPs) and surface magnetic-polaritons(SMPs). Possible combinations of the material-parameters to support propagation of the two surface polaritons are suggested at the interface between metals and metamaterials such as a left-handed material. Dispersion relations are also derived in order to characterize frequency dependence of propagation of the SEP and SMP. It is found that only one propagation mode of SEP or SMP is allowed at a given set of four material parameters, and that counter-propagation of the phase and group velocities of the propagation mode can be observed even in the case when there are no double negative(or, negative-index) materials. Physical origin of the counter-propagation of the group velocity is proposed by evaluating the ratio of two electromagnetic-energy densities of a surface polariton propagating along within the two interface media, and it is confirmed by the dispersion relations.

A CRLH-TL based compact metamaterial antenna on a magneto-dielectric material is proposed. The proposed antenna is composed of two patches and vias, which is loaded by a magneto-dielectric material constructed by SRRs. The characteristic of SRRs is studied, and the size reduction of the antenna by using the magneto-dielectric material is confirmed. The simulated resonant frequency of the antenna has showed a decrease of 7.13 % at - 1st-order resonant mode, and 23.9 % at zeroth-order resonant mode. A zeroth-order resonant antenna is fabricated and measured, which has a resonant frequency of 1.888 GHz, a bandwidth of 0.48 %, a gain of 0.534 dBi, and an efficiency of 51.7 %.

This paper proposes a design of attenuator based on meta-material structure and its application. The unit-cell attenuator based on the lossy transmission line consists of the CRLH(Composite Right/Left Handed) transmission line and PIN diodes to be controlled internal loss according to diode bias voltage to change resistance of diode. Also, to reduce the initial losses, there is used parallel connection of PIN diodes. To increase attenuations, it is connected a cascade unit-cell of attenuator with periodic structure. The attenuation quantities of unit-cell are about 10dB and phase variations are 15o maximum at 1.5 GHz ~ 2.5 GHz. Also, its application is represented a vector modulator.

The propagation constant, which is defined for a double-positive (DPS) material of positive permittivity (${\varepsilon}'$) and permeability (${\mu}'$), is extended and derived for an epsilon-negative (ENG) material (${\varepsilon}'<0,\;{\mu}'>0$), a mu-negative (MNG) material (${\varepsilon}'>0,\;{\mu}'<0$), and a double-negative (DNG) material (${\varepsilon}'<0,\;{\mu}'<0$). By investigating how the permittivity loss (${\varepsilon}"$) and permeability loss (${\mu}"$) terms affect the propagation constant, we determine that the wave in the materials propagates as a right-handed (RH) triad or a left-handed (LH) triad. Regardless of the magnitudes of ${\varepsilon}"$ and ${\mu}"$, DPS and DNG materials become RH and LH media, respectively. However, ENG and MNG materials possess unusual characteristics that both materials become a RH medium when the sign of (${\varepsilon}'{\mu}"+{\varepsilon}"{\mu}'$) is positive and they become a LH medium when the sign is negative.

In this paper, we propose a flexible zeroth-order resonant(ZOR) antenna. Its zero phase constant ensures that the antenna performance is independent of substrate deformation. A composite right/left-handed transmission line is designed based on coplanar waveguide technology to realize the zeroth-order resonance phenomenon. The CRLH is an implementation of metamaterial(left handed material) which is composed of shunt inductance and series capacitance. In order to yield additional circuital parameter, chip inductor and gap capacitor is added, respectively. The proposed ZOR antenna provides good performances: reasonable bandwidth(6.5 %) and peak gain(0.69~1.39 dBi). Simulated and measured results show that the antenna's resonant frequencies and radiation patterns are almost unchanged at different curvature diameters of 30, 50, 70 mm, as well as for a flat surface.

In this paper, a novel fluid controlled phase tunable line using inkjet printed microfluidic composite right/left-handed(CRLH) transmission line(TL) is proposed. A CRLH-TL prototype has been inkjet-printed on a paper substrate using silver nano particle ink. In addition, a laser-etched microfluidic channel in poly methyl methacrylate(PMMA) has been integrated with the CRLH TL using inkjet-printed SU-8 as a bonding material. The proposed TL provides excellent phase-tuning capability that is dependent on the different fluidic materials used. As the fluid is changed, the proposed TL can have negative-phase, zero-phase, and positive-phase characteristics at 900 MHz and reflection coefficient is maintained to below -10 dB. The performance of the proposed TL is successfully validated using simulation and measurement results.

In this paper, a new split ring resonator using left-handed meta-material adapted in a bandpass filter with 2-stages is suggested. In this proposed bandpass filter, the size of the novel resonator can be easily controlled. Also, the bandwidth can be adjusted with the position of the tapped-line. The proposed resonator and filter has the center frequency of 10 GHz for I-band in military-satellite communication system with the Qe value of 184. The experimental results of the filter show that the insertion and return losses are 1.43 dB and 16.8 dB with bandwidth of 10 %, respectively.

This paper describes a design of dual band balanced amplifier using a lefted handed meta-material transmission line structure for high frequency application. Meta-material transmission lines have been known to have dual band frequency responses. A dual band branch line hybrid coupler is designed using the meta-material transmission lines, and measured at first. Two identical dual band amplifiers are also designed, built and tested using the same meta-material transmission structure. The proposed dual band balanced amplifier is composed of those dual band branch line hybrid coupler and amplifiers. In order to suggest an design example, a prototype of dual band balanced amplifier is built and measured at the dual frequencies, 1800MHz($f_1$) and 2300MHz($f_2$). The simulation and measurement show that the fabricated balanced amplifier operates well at the desired dual frequencies bands with the gain of 11.12dB and 17.67dB at $f_1$ and $f_2$, respectively, with a good agreement with the simulation results.
