A 5‐bit time delay module with left‐handed and right‐handed transmission line is designed and fabricated, which can realize a minimum time delay of 100 ps and a maximum time delay of 3100 ps in 9–10 GHz frequency range. Compared with traditional transmission line time delay module, the present 5‐bit left‐handed transmission line time delay module has shown its compactness and low losses. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
