Abstract
A novel electrically small composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) cell based on the Minkowski-shaped geometry of a complementary single split ring resonator is proposed and analysed by the S parameters extraction method. EM simulation results have confirmed the roughly tri-band response of the proposed CRLH TL cell attributed to the fractal multiband nature. A tri-band bandpass filter (BPF) centred at 1.1, 2 and 2.74 GHz with minimum insertion loss 0.4, 1.1 and 1.45 dB was synthesised and fabricated by employing an additional two Hilbert-shaped quarter-wave open-circuit stubs which provided transmission zeros located between passbands to obtain high selectivity. This simple design concept was verified by measurement as well as simulation results.
