Abstract :
This paper studies multi-layered composite right-/left-handed transmission lines (ML CRLH TL). To realize wideband response from left-handed passband to right-hand passband without band gaps and other undesired parasitic resonances, a balanced ML CRLH TL with defected parallel plates is newly proposed and demonstrated theoretically by using FEM-based EM simulator. A wide passband from 2.0 GHz to 9.5 GHz was attained with balanced condition, which is useful for UWB applications.
