摘要

In this letter, a novel zero-order-resonaw composite right/left-handeel transmission line (CRLH-TL) is investigated and its equivalent circuit is proposed. Both the numerical simulations (aid the theoretical analysis show that the zero-order resonant frequency occurs at 1.42 GHz, due to introduction of the spiral inductor, and the stop hand between the left-handed pass band and the right-handed one disappears, We measure experimentally the five-stage CRLH-TL. The measurement results are in agreement with those of the simulations and theory. The CRLH-TL with zero-order resonant has potential for applications in miniaturization of microwave devices.
