Abstract
Metamaterials is a rapidly evolving field of research that covers a vast range of artificial structures and electro-magnetic properties. Resulting from this, there is no universally accepted definition of what is meant by a meta-material. It is generally agreed that metamaterials are artificial media with unusual properties not found in their constituent materials. The composite right / left-handed transmission lines (CRLH-TLs) are the metamaterials with both of the RH and the LH properties. In this paper, study and design of smart frequency agility control system has been introduced and investigated. The proposed CRLH-TL has been evaluated using a commercial software. The final proposed system with smart control unit has been fabricated and the scattering characteristics have been illustrated using network analyzer to meet the multifunction requirements for communication and radar applications.
