Abstract :
The problem of scattering of plane electromagnetic wave on the infinite microstrip lattice with nonlinear loads in the strip plane was solved with help of integral equations method, when a metamaterial (MM) is used as lattice substrate. It is shown that application of MM in microstrip lattice as a substrate (instead of a dielectric) provides alignment of levels of the higher harmonics in comparison with first harmonic in the reflected field. It is reached due to suppression of fundamental harmonic in the reflected field.
