Abstract :
This paper reviews applications of the infinite wavelength supported by certain metamaterials accomplished to date by the authors´ group. In particular, novel microwave resonators, dividers, and antennas based on the fundamental infinite wavelength supported by the composite right/left-handed metamaterial transmission line are presented. Applications and the unique properties of these novel microwave devices are also presented
