Abstract :
In this paper, metamaterial-based transmission lines will be discussed, with a focus placed on how these structures can be utilized in microwave systems. The different devices necessary for a basic dual-band receiver will be discussed and it will be shown how these dual-band components can be realized using metamaterial-based structure. Also, two different types of two-dimensional beam scanning systems will be introduced that utilize both one and two dimensional metamaterial-based structures.
