Investigation on capacitively loaded microstrip line
In this work, a microstrip transmission line with a planar left-handed structure, is
investigated. Negative μ is achieved by creating periodic capacitive
slots in the conducting strip of line. By using the transmission matrix method for
periodic structures, these slots are analyzed. To this end, the unit cell is considered as
a combination of two series capacitors and a section of transmission line, and then the
transmission matrix of this unit cell is calculated. The dispersion relation verifies the
existence of a stop band with a negative magnetic permeability
(μ < 0) below the cut-off frequency. The width of
stop band can be controlled by changing the structure dimensions
