Abstract :
The adjustable phase response of composite right/left-handed transmission lines is used in the design of two ring resonators. The first design demonstrates the increase of higher order modes beyond the third harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The second design demonstrates the decrease of the bandwidth to about half that of a conventional microstrip ring resonator.
