Abstract :
This paper presents stub-based implementations of composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission lines in planar and waveguide technologies. CRLH applications are also presented. Theoretical expectations have been confirmed by EM simulations and measurements. This research is a sample of the microwave activities carried out in Egypt.
