Nonlinear properties of the lattice network-based nonlinear CRLH transmission lines

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/2/028503

Abstract The nonlinear properties of lattice network-based (LNB) composite right-/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH TLs) with nonlinear capacitors are experimentally investigated. Harmonic generation, subharmonic generation, and parametric excitation are clearly observed in an unbalanced LNB CRLH TL separately. While the balanced design of the novel nonlinear TL shows that the subharmonic generation and parametric processes can be suppressed, and almost the same power level of the higher harmonics can be achieved over a wide bandwidth range, which are difficult to find in conventional CRLH TLs.

Keywords: composite right-/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) nonlinear metamaterial lattice network microstrip
