Dual Band Resistance Compression Network using Composite Right/Left Hand Transmission Line

Abstract

This work shows the construction of a Dual Band Resistance Compression Network operating at 2.4GHz and 5GHz using the Dual Band property of Composite Right/Left Hand Transmission Line. It compresses varied load resistances in the range 15-75 Ω to a reduced and nearly constant input impedance which can then be deployed in any impedance matching network such as the quarter wave transformer to be matched to a single source with any resistance.
