A novel composite right/left‐handed transmission line unit is proposed. Using the structure, a new power divider is developed. By adjusting the parameters of the capacitors and the inductors, the simulation results show that the power divider has perfectly symmetric power division at 1.24 GHz, return loss up to −38 dB with the transmitted power being close to −3 dB (−3.01 dB). In addition, the performances of the novel power divider are demonstrated experimentally. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
