Metamaterial filters: A review

Abstract In this paper, a review on metamaterial filters is presented. Several filters based on resonant-type composite right/left-handed metamaterial transmission lines are revised. The different results presented show the application possibilities of such structures in the design of filters with different bandwidths and performances. Some results based on other approaches are also shown.
