Novel Compact Dual-Band Rat-Race Coupler Combining Fractal Geometry and CRLH TLs

A super compact fractal-shaped composite right/left handed (CRLH) rat-race coupler (RRC) is proposed for the first time by skillfully combining two circuit schematics of the RRC operating at two arbitrary frequencies. For dual-band (DB) purpose, novel circuit schematics of RRC are deducted, and close-form formula and design procedures are derived in detail. The CRLH transmission line (TL) consists of lumped elements for the left handed part and Koch-shaped microstrip lines (MLs) for the right handed part. Since conventional RRC exhibits two types of unique branches, the DB design often suffers a tedious process. By employing the CRLH TL, the realization of a DB RRC becomes much easier. Moreover, constructing the microstrip lines as Koch curves enables the compactness of the circuit. For verification, a coupler operating at 0.75 and 1.8? GHz is fabricated and measured. Consistent results between simulation and measurement have confirmed the design and shown that the RRC with an area of 10.2% of its conventional counterpart owns excellent in-band performances.

It is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated how the unique features of CRLH TLs, enables a differential phase shift with flat frequency dependence around the center frequency. The experimental prototype is a coplanar design integrated on a high resistive Si substrate. It includes four CRLH T-unit cells and has a physical length of 3850/spl mu/m. The ferroelectric varactors are realized in parallel plate version. Under 15-V dc bias applied over each varactor, the differential phase shift is flat around 17GHz and has an absolute value of 50/spl deg/.     

Asymmetric Dual-Passband Coplanar Waveguide Filters Using Periodic Composite Right/Left-Handed and Quarter-Wavelength Stubs

A novel dual-passband coplanar waveguide (CPW) filter periodically loaded with the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) short-circuited stubs and the quarter-wavelength open-circuited stubs in asymmetric configuration is presented. The unit-cell equivalent circuit of the periodic structure in conjunction with Floquet's theorem is employed to find the propagation characteristics of passband and stopband regions. Unlike the conventional quarter-wavelength transmission-line inverter suitable only for a narrow frequency range, the dual-band inverter is adopted in the dual-passband filter to achieve a better frequency response within two operating bands. The performance of the 2.4/5.8-GHz third-order CRLH CPW dual-passband filter with 52% and 23% bandwidths is measured and validated by full-wave simulation. Two arbitrary passband regions are presented and the stopband within the passbands can be controlled by varying the length of open-circuited stub, supporting the flexibility and compactness of the proposed dual-passband filter     

CPW‐Fed Arbitrary Frequency‐Switchable Antenna Using CRLH Transmission Line

A novel frequency‐switchable antenna that uses PIN diodes and a composite right‐ and left‐handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is proposed. The CRLH TL provides multi‐order resonance, including a zeroth‐order resonance (ZOR), and its shunt stub determines the ZOR frequency. Thus, the resonant frequency is arbitrarily chosen by lumped chip inductors on the shunt stub. Two prototypes are designed using different chip inductors while maintaining the antenna geometries. Antenna #1 can switch the resonant frequency from 1.8 GHz to 2.3 GHz. Antenna #2 can switch its resonance from 0.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz.

A compact and high performance dual-band bandpass filter based on unbalanced composite right/left-handed transmission lines for WLANs applications

In this paper, a novel compact microstrip dual-band (DB) bandpass filter with high selectivity for wireless local area networks applications is proposed. The design procedure is based on unbalanced composite right/left-handed (UCRLH) transmission lines (TLs). The DB features can be achieved by unbalancing the CRLH transmission line. The necessary conditions to obtain a discontinuous transition between the left- and right-handed bands, intended to provide UCRLLH TL, are investigated. The application of this technique to design of compact DB filters is illustrated. The structure of the proposed DB filter is implemented by a series interdigital capacitor located between two microstrip lines that shorted to the ground plane by vias. The vias with microstrip lines acting as a shunt connected inductor while the series capacitor is realized by interdigital capacitor. The design procedure based on a simple equivalent circuit is also introduced. The proposed filter has advantages such as compact size, easy fabrication, high selectivity, low insertion loss, high return loss and, design flexibility. To validate the proposed technique, the proposed DB filter has been fabricated and tested. Good agreement has been found between simulation and measurement results. The total size of the proposed UCRLH DB filter is 0.17 λ_g × 0.048 λ_g, where λ_g is the guided wavelength of the lower pass-band. The size of the proposed DB filter is more compact in comparison with known similar filters.
