Electrically tunable composite right/left handed transmission-line based on open resonators and barium-stronium-titanate thick films

Summary form only given, as follows. This paper is focused on the study of the tunability of planar composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission lines based on the combination of open split-ring resonators (OSRRs) and open complementary split-ring resonators (OCSRRs), and its application to microwave devices. The tunability is achieved by means of Barium-Stronium-Titanate (BST) thick films, which change the electrical properties of the structures through the application of a static electric field.
