An impedance matching section based on composite right/left‐handed transmission line model in viewpoint of phase shift and noise figure.

In this paper, a genetic‐based synthesis approach for an impedance matching section based on a composite right‐/left‐handed (CRLH) transmission line model called CRLH transmission line impedance matching section (CRLHTLIMS) in viewpoint of transmission phase shift and noise figure is newly presented. To find the unknown values of right‐/left‐handed inductances and capacitances of a CRLHTLIMS, a type of global optimization algorithm called continuous parameter genetic algorithm is used. The length, transmission phase shift, and noise figure of the CRLHTLIMS are computed by using simple equations. Different examples for a uniform CRLHTLIMS are given. According to the results, this approach is an easy and effective way for the synthesis of transmission line impedance matching sections in viewpoint of transmission phase shift and noise figure.
