- Abstract
An accurate rigorous modal theory has been applied to investigate the propagation characteristics in a rectangular waveguide filled with multilayer left-handed and right-handed metamaterials. It is shown that such a waveguide supports different passbands below the waveguide's cutoff frequency, and the number of passbands is related to the corresponding layers of different lefthanded metamaterials (LHMs) filled in the waveguide. The rigorous modal analysis of this structure reveals in detail how the waveguide geometry and left-handed metamaterial parameters may be selected to design rectangular waveguides supporting double or triple below-cutoff passbands. The efficient power transmissions in these below-cutoff passbands are validated by using the full-wave simulation software HFSS. These structures supporting multiple below-cutoff passbands could find applications in waveguide components requiring miniaturization and multiband properties, such as miniaturized multifunctional antennas and filters.
