|---|---|
| Metamaterial transmission lines can be defined as artificial transmission lines that emulate the propagation phenomena in negative-refraction-index bulk media. The performance of such artificial transmission lines is determined by their unit cells. The characteristics and fundamental properties of two different families (¿/¿- and lattice networkbased) of unit cells are reviewed and compared. It is shown that ¿/¿-based unit cells always exhibit band-pass behaviour, whilst lattice network-based ones have an all-pass frequency response. It is also shown that, regardless of the selected network topology for the unit cell or its order, all possible implementations of a given transmission line provide the same dispersion diagram in the infinite wavelength limit (electrical length small enough). | |
