  • Abstract
    A compact gap coupled resonator implemented with a negative refractive index microstrip line section is presented. The resonator offers harmonic suppression and an 86% size reduction compared to a conventional gap coupled resonator operating at 1.2 GHz. The resonator should have many applications in the design of filters and oscillators.
