A Highly-Selective Filter Based on Negative-Refractive-Index Transmission-Lines

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a highly-selective filter based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) theory is presented .It is realized by replacing the traditional shunt inductive loading with a series LC resonator to ground. An attenuation-pole can be introduced by replacing the shorted-stub with a open stub.Simulation using ADS and HFSS of a compact highly-selective filter demonstrated the viability of the approach.
