Abstract :
In this paper a new left-handed artificial dielectric is proposed. Using resonating broadside coupled patches to generate a negative permeability and thin strips to generate negative permittivity, a negative index of refraction that is matched to free space can be designed. This structure is fabricated from a single dielectric sheet printed on both sides by metal patterns that couple to externally incident plane waves of any polarization
