A HALF MODE SUBSTRATE INTEGRATED EPSILON NEAR ZERO RESONATOR AND NOTCH FILTER

In this article a miniaturized, half-mode substrate integrated epsilon near zero (ENZ) tunnel is presented. This structure supports a reflection-less transmission at a single frequency when epsilon is near zero. Moreover, this tunnel is connected to a CRLH filter in a decoupling mode to reject unwanted frequencies. Design
