A Bandpass Filter Based on Novel SCRLH Transmission Line Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel simplified composite right/left handed (SCRLH) transmission line (TL) structure is proposed.The dispersion and impedance characteristics of the novel structure are first analysed based on Bloch-Floquet theory, which shows that the attenuation constant keeps zero with a relatively smooth characteristic impedance distribution within the passband and that the characteristic impedance is purely imaginary with the inhibition of the electromagetic wave propagation outside the passband.
