Abstract :
The wave-propagation characteristics in a one-dimensional multiple-periodic (MP) Composite right/left-handed (CRLH) structures is presented, where it is found that an increase in the number of unit cells in each supercell leads to new passbands and stopbands. To understand this phenomenon, the network parameters are employed for the theoretical analysis. Detailed dispersion characteristics and the relation between passbands and sub-periodicities are investigated using both analytical and full-wave results, and the reasons for their emergence is qualitatively discussed. Besides, its application to multi-band leaky-wave radiators is also suggested.
