Analysis of balanced composite right/left handed structure based on different dimensions of complementary split ring resonators

Abstract—In this paper, rectangular shape complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) with different dimensions are introduced to realize balanced composite right/left handed (CRLH) structure. As the dimensions of CSRRs is altered, the required series capacitance should also be modified and the propagation characteristics will be changed, which gives the facility of designing microwave/RF components using the balanced CRLH structure. The propagation characteristics of proposed structures are demonstrated by simulated and measured results, which are in good agreement. 1
