Abstract :
Novel microwave lenses are presented which are realized by interfacing a right-handed (RH) material with a left-handed (LH) material. The conic LH/RH interfaces required to realize LH lenses are presented. A novel parabolic refractor based on the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial is also experimentally demonstrated
