Abstract

Possibilities for improving electrical system properties concerning size reduction, efficiency, multiband operation and tuning by using Metamaterial devices are presented. Two approaches in designing Metamaterial structures, i.e. the resonant type as well as the dual transmission line concept, are demonstrated by examples. With the dual transmission line concept, a dualband 90° Composite Right and Left Handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is implemented for use in dualband hybrid couplers and Wilkinson power dividers. Therefore new design guidelines for reliable functionality and superior performance were established for the stated implementation. The resonant type approach is based on resonant structures comprising of split ring resonators (SRR). Examples of using high-Q split ring resonators in duplex filters and in current switched class-S amplifiers are evaluated. Furthermore different aspects and possibilities in tuning SRRs by using MEMS devices are highlighted.
