Abstract
A fully-printed biplanar design of a volumetric negative-refractive-index transmission-line (NRI-TL) metamaterial is presented. The proposed structure employs dual-arm spiral inductors providing stronger loading inductance and leading to better matching to free space, while still possessing a small electrical length of one-eighteenth of the operating free-space wavelength.
