Abstract :
This paper presents a study and development of equations consisting metamaterials of negative refraction index. The equations developed for this structure are based in full wave Transverse Transmission Line (TTL) method. This method allows obtaining concise equations. In order to analyze this structure the complex resonant frequency was determined. The results obtained for this application are presented.
