“…Among guided wave components, metamaterial transmission lines have been applied to the design of enhanced bandwidth components [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73], multiband components [16,22,64,65,[74][75][76][77][78][79][80], tightly coupled couplers [81][82][83][84][85], resonators [86], filters and diplexers [16-18, 44, 49-52, 56, 87-104], and so forth. In the field of antennas, the design of leaky wave antennas with scanning capability has been a notable contribution [14,[105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112] (however, novel antennas based on metamaterial concepts (b)…”
