Abstract :
We report a mushroom-type left-handed transmission line constructed using a microfabrication method, which also yields new opportunities to reduce the structure dimensions, and consequently, increase the operating frequency. Comprehensive characterization using both S-parameter measurement and full wave electromagnetic simulation shows a wide left-handed pass band between 37 and 60 GHz.
