Abstract
This study proposes a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) that permits switching between the right-handed (RH) and left-handed (LH) modes using single crystalline silicon (SCS) RF MEMS switches. It is possible to change modes from the RH to LH mode, or vice versa, by controlling the admittance of capacitors and the impedance of inductors using switch operations. The proposed switchable CRLH-TL consists of SCS RF MEMS switches, metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors and shunt inductors. At 8 GHz, the fabricated device shows a phase response of
