  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose a transmission line metamaterial super lens operating at 15.4 Ghz. The unit cell is built with a printed transmission line loaded with shunt inductor and series capacitor and it is designed to exhibit a negative refraction index equal -1. Such a microwave super lens can go beyond the diffraction limit and can be used for free space imaging.
