Abstract

A novel narrow-band bandpass filter using metamaterials is proposed. The filter is composed of cascaded four metamaterial unit cells. We study the properties of the device theoretically and experimentally. The measured results are presented and compared with the results simulated by a high-frequency structure simulator. It is observed that the measured results are good agreement with the simulated results. The proposed filter has narrow bandwidth, low insertion loss, compact dimensions, easy fabrication, and low cost.
