Science Letters:Dual structure of composite right/left-handed transmission line

INTRODUCTION An artificial dielectric medium that exhibits si- multaneously negative electric permittivity and magnetic permeability, also known as a left-handed (LH) material, was first envisaged by Veselago, who theoretically predicted that such a medium would exhibit a negative refractive index (NRI) (Veselago, 1968). An artificial NRI medium exhibiting back- ward-wave propagation characteristics (and therefore a negative refractive index) was first realized ex- perimentally in (She…     

Novel resonator based on composite right/left-handed transmission lines

INTRODUCTION Left-handed materials (LHMs) are characterized by simultaneously negative permittivity and perme- ability. It was first investigated theoretically by Ve- selago (1968). The experimental realization of LHM with resonance structures was demonstrated by Smith et al.(2000). Since then, LHM has gained significant interest and started to be integrated into novel mi- crowave and optical applications. The transmis- sion-line (TL) approach was recently proposed to realize LHMs …     

Science Letters:A power divider based on a new kind of composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) unit

INTRODUCTION Wave propagation in a material with negative magnetic permeability and negative electric permit- tivity was first theoretically analyzed by Veselago (1968). In such a left-handed material (LHM), the electric field E, the magnetic field H and the wave vector k of electromagnetic wave propagation obey the left-hand rule (instead of the right-hand rule for usual materials). After Smith et al.(2000) demon- strated simultaneously negative permeability and permittivity, using cop…     

A tunable dual-broad-band branch-line coupler utilizing composite right／left-handed transmission lines

INTRODUCTION Veselago (1968) theoretically analyzed the wave propagation in a left-handed (LH) material which has simultaneously a negative magnetic permeability and a negative electric permittivity. The electric field, the magnetic field, and the wave vector of an electro-magnetic wave propagating in such a material obey the left-hand rule (instead of the right-hand rule for usual materials). Such an LH material was first real-ized in 2001 in microwave region with an array of metallic …     

Discussion on coupling mechanism of asymmetric CRLH/RH TL coupler

INTRODUCTION In recent years metamaterials, more commonly referred to as left-handed materials, have stimulated great interests in the scientific and engineering field. These artificial materials, which were first theorized by Veselago (1968) and experimentally realized by Shelby et al.(2001), can exhibit specific electromag- netic properties not commonly found in nature. The approach of using transmission line theory was veri- fied to be an efficient design tool for metamaterials applica…     

A new class of negative refractive index transmission line

We propose a new class of negative refractive index transmission line in which ideal operational amplifiers are applied to form the periodically loaded negative-impedance-converted inductors and capacitors. The phase response of the new trans-mission line is opposite to that of a positive refractive index conventional transmission line. Unlike the existing negative refractive index transmission line,the new negative refractive index transmission line is non-dispersive and thus can lead to many novel applications such as designing new broadband devices.     

A new broadband differential phase shifter fabricated using a novel CRLH structure

Broadband phase shifters are mostly proposed and fabricated based on the scheme proposed by Shiffman, which uses a coupled line with far ends connected together and a uniform transmission line to give a differential phase shift. Based on the unique dispersion property of the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial structure, a new configuration is presented in this paper for fabricating the broadband differential phase shifter, which employs a novel CRLH metamaterial structure as one of the differential phase-shift arms, instead of the conventional coupled line. The new circuit can achieve a phase shift of 90° in an operational bandwidth as broad as one octave and its phase deviations are quite small. An original design of the novel broadband phase shifter is presented, in which the artificial CRLH structure was implemented by microstrip quasi-lumped elements. Both the simulated and measured results of the 90° broadband differential phase shifter are presented.     

Science Letters: Lattice type transmission line of negative refractive index

In this letter, we introduce a novel passive transmission line of negative refractive index （i.e., left-handedness） based on identical symmetrical lattice type structures [thus called ＂lattice type transmission line＂ （LT-TL）]. The dispersion characteristic and the transmission response of the proposed LT-TL are analyzed. While all the other left-handed passive transmission lines are of high pass, the present passive left-handed transmission line is of low pass. Compared with a conventional transmission line, the LT-TL has a phase shift of 180° in the entire wide pass-band.

A low-power Rijndael S-Box based on pass transmission gate and composite field arithmetic

Using composite field arithmetic in Galois field can result in the compact Rijndael S-Box. However, the power con- sumption of this solution is too large to be used in resource-limited embedded systems. A full-custom hardware implementation of composite field S-Box is proposed for these targeted domains in this paper. The minimization of power consumption is implemented by optimizing the architecture of the composite field S-Box and using the pass transmission gate (PTG) to realize the logic functions of S-Box. Power simulations were performed using the netlist extracted from the layout. HSPICE simulation results indicated that the proposed S-Box achieves low power consumption of about 130 μW at 10 MHz using 0.25 μm/2.5 V technology, while the consumptions of the positive polarity reed-muller (PPRM) based S-Box and composite field S-Box based on the conventional CMOS logic style are about 240 μW and 420 μW, respectively. The simulations also showed that the presented S-Box obtains better low-voltage operating property, which is clearly relevant for applications like sensor nodes, smart cards and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.
