Analysis of stripline configurations loaded with complementary split ring resonators

In this article, a stripline planar transmission line loaded with complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs), in order to obtain a frequency selective behavior. Due to the quasi-static resonance frequency of the CSRR elements, given by the excitation by normal incident E-field, a rejected frequency band can be observed. Simulation as well as measurement results reveal the possibility to apply this type of configuration for the implementation of devices in stripline technology. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
