Abstract
Microwave components with nonlinear phase responses are developed using a simplified composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission-line (TL) structure without the series capacitance or the shunt inductance. Using such a simplified CRLH structure, arbitrarily dual-band microstrip components have been realized in compact sizes such as a quarter-wavelength short-circuited stub and dual- band branch-line couplers. Simulation and measurement results are given to demonstrate the efficiency and good performance of the proposed components. For the quarter- wavelength short-circuited stub based on the simplified CRLH-TL structure without the series capacitance, it has been shown that the insertion loss is less than -0.1dB. For the arbitrarily dual-band branch-line coupler, experiment results exhibit that S/sub 21/ and S/sub 31/ are larger than -3.6dB, the isolations are smaller than -30dB, the return losses are smaller than -20dB, and the phase differences are within 90/spl deg//spl plusmn/1.8/spl deg/.Keywords
