Abstract :
A tunable and compact LH transformer has been presented. The proposed transformer has been designed in CPW configuration on ferrite substrate. The transformer has been studied analytically and its performance is verified numerically. The results show a tuning capability of the proposed transformer compared to the identical dielectric transformer by changing the applied DC magnetic bias.
