Abstract :
One-dimensional CRLH transmission lines are aligned to construct two-dimensional medium with imaging capability not found in homogeneous materials. Mimicking electromagnetic field distribution on a surface of the perfect lens, high resolution imaging is demonstrated. Unlike transmission configurations such as in a lens, the imaging operation proposed in this paper is not disturbed by dissipation or index mismatch, leading to wide band operations.
