Abstract :
This paper presents an easy procedure to design left and right handed transmission lines with the help of lumped components for on-chip realizations. In this procedure, these lines are modeled with different L-C networks. It is observed that through lumped component modeling a major reduction in the total chip area can be achieved. Also with the help of these models the design of different lines with different characteristic impedance and electrical length is simplified. Certain realization examples for both left handed and right handed transmission line types for millimeter wave applications are presented.
