Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a novel nonlinear left-handed transmission line (NL-LHTL) based on the periodic structure of an array of unbiased Josephson junctions (JJ). The nonlinear inductance in each unit cell stems from the current-voltage relationship in an array of unbiased JJ. Dispersion diagrams and numerical analysis of the proposed NL-LHTL are presented.
