Abstract
A fully integrated broadband coplanar waveguide left-handed metamaterial medium using GaAs technology for radio frequency/monolithic microwave integrated circuit (RF/MMIC) applications is reported and validated by the full wave simulation and measured results. The unit cell of the fabricated structures has a size of 0.09 mm2. The left handedness of the integrated left-handed structure extends from 2.3 to 17.5 GHz. The compactness and broad left-handed operating bandwidth make the presented left-handed metamaterial be well incorporated with RF/MMIC applications. © 2007 IEEE.
