Composite right/left-handed /spl lambda/-resonator ring antenna for dual-frequency operation

@inproceedings{citeulike:2674629, abstract = {A novel ring structure operating as a dual-frequency resonating antenna is presented.

The lower operating frequency corresponds to the /spl lambda/ mode in the left-handed (LH, backward wave, /spl beta/<0) range, while the higher resonance frequency corresponds to the /spl lambda/ mode in the right-handed (RH, forward wave, /spl beta/>0) range. The main benefit of having the same field distribution is that identical performances (radiation, polarization and matching) are achieved at each of the two frequencies.
