  • Abstract
    Active microwave metamaterial (MTM) structures, in particular composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) MTM structures, are introduced in a general scope. Several planar implementations are described. A dual-band distributed amplifier (DA) and a high-gain leaky-wave antenna (LWA) are presented as illustrations of guided-wave and radiated-wave active MTMs, respectively
