Transmission line approach of left-handed (LH) materials and microstrip implementation of an artificial LH transmission line (2004, methodology): “In this range, the line becomes a backward leaky-wave antenna despite the fact that it is operating in its fundamental mode [22].”
Compact linear lead/lag metamaterial phase shifters for broadband applications (2003, methodology): “Extending the range of and of these artificial dielectrics, has prompted the inception of numerous new RF/microwave circuits and devices that exhibit desirable characteristics such as the leaky-wave antenna radiating its fundamental spatial harmonic presented in [6], [7].”
Periodic analysis of a 2-D negative refractive index transmission line structure (2003, result): “Furthermore, a 1-D fast-wave implementation of this metamaterial was shown to exhibit backward-wave radiation from its fundamental spatial harmonic, an effect similar to what Veselago [5] termed “reversed Cherenkov radiation” [8], [9].”
Pairing an epsilon-negative slab with a mu-negative slab: resonance, tunneling and transparency (2003, unknown): “In this situation, we will have a shunt inductor (instead of a shunt capacitance) in the TL model; The equivalent C-L transmission line as the “left-handed” transmission line has already been considered in [19]–[22] as a realization of 1-”
A broadband Wilkinson balun using microstrip metamaterial lines (2005, methodology): “Various devices that have been developed based on the TL-MM structure include a backward leaky-wave antenna radiating its fundamental spatial harmonic [6], a MM codirectional coupler that couples power backward [7], and MM phase-shifting lines that can be made very compact and”
Leaky-Wave Antennas (2008, background): “This structure is based on microstrip line, with series capacitance and parallel inductance per unit length added to make an artificial transmission line [34, 35].”
A compact and low-profile metamaterial ring antenna with vertical polarization (2005, background): “Some devices that have been developed based on TL metamaterials can be found in [4]–[10].”
A broadband series power divider using zero-degree metamaterial phase-shifting lines (2005, background): “Various devices that have been developed based on the TL-metamaterial (MM) structure can be found in [5]–[8].”
Metamaterial-based electronically controlled transmission-line structure as a novel leaky-wave antenna with tunable radiation angle and beamwidth (2004, background): “Recently, a metamaterial-based backward radiating leaky-wave (LW) antenna was presented in [13] and [14].”
High-gain active composite right/left-handed leaky-wave antenna (2006, background): “This concept matured quickly and led to the first backfire-to-endfire CRLH LWA [6], after LH backward wave radiation was demonstrated in [7], [8].”
