Abstract
This paper presents the design procedure and implementation of an innovative compact bandpass filter in UHF band by using Composite Right/Left Handed Transmission Line (CRLH-TL) by using parasitic effects of these structures. The CRLH-TL is utilized in order to minimize the overall size of component and reject higher ordered harmonics. The metamaterial transmission line is about one-eighth of a wavelength long and acts as both resonator and inverter which provide capacitive coupling between neighboring sections. To show the validity of design procedure, two prototype bandpass filters were fabricated and tested. We have shown that very good agreement exists between simulation results and those obtained by measurement.
