In this paper, a new multilayer low parasitic synthesis of composite right‐left handed (CRLH) TL is proposed and demonstrated. A novel method for designing of the extended microstrip inductors and capacitors in the resonator or 2‐port method for the simultaneous extraction of inductors and capacitors in series or parallel form is presented. By putting these resonators together, multilayer unit cells are introduced for CRLH practical implementations. Finally, with the combination of the unit cells, several CRLH metamaterial TLs are designed. To verify this method, a Wilkinson power divider based on CRLH cells is designed and simulated. The actual prototype of 1:2 Wilkinson power divider is fabricated on FR4 substrate. Measured results of fabricated prototype provide a good consistency with simulated results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
