Abstract :
This paper proposes three types of coupled multi-layer composite light-/left-handed transmission lines (TLs) fabricated in parallel beyond a small gap between them. By designing a left-handed shunt inductor appropriately, weakly-coupled TLs (Model 1), differential-mode TLs (Model 2), and tightly-coupled TLs (Model 3) can be realized. Basic behaviour of these TLs are studied theoretically based on even/odd-mode analysis.
