Abstract

It is confirmed that zeroth-order resonance appears in the epsilon negative (ENG) meta-structured transmission line (MTL) as well as in the conventional double negative (DNG) MTL. The zeroth-order resonant characteristics are described using dispersion relation of ENG MTL based on Bloch and Floquet theory. Appling the novel concept of the ENG zeroth-order resonator (ZOR), an ENG ZOR antenna is proposed. The radiation characteristics of the ZOR antennas using the DNG and ENG MTL are simulated and measured, and are proven to be the same.
