The propagation characteristics of a microstrip line loaded with an array of split ring resonators (SRRs) as superstrate is investigated. The presence of SRRs over the microstrip line leads to an effective negative permeability in a narrow band, where signal propagation is inhibited. The width and attenuation of the rejected frequency band depends on the height of the superstrate as well as its relative position with respect to the microstrip line. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
