Abstract
This paper proposes a composite right/left-handed cylindrical waveguide. Negative permeability is realized by the cutoff TM01-mode in a hollow waveguide, and negative permittivity is realized by the cutoff dominant TE-mode in a sector waveguide with a ridge. Usefulness of the proposed cylindrical waveguide is verified from the numerical computations of both the dispersion diagrams and the transmission characteristics of the structure with finite-number unit cells. Finally, measurement of the fabricated waveguides is performed for the experimental verification.
