Abstract
Novel zeroth-order resonator (ZOR) composites epsilon-zero resonance (EZR) and mu-zero resonance (MZR) characteristics was proposed. The proposed resonator was constructed by moving via from centre of the conventional mushroom structure (CMS) to the edge, then, an edge-located via mushroom structure (ELV-MS) was formed. Thus, boundary conditions were transformed from all open-ended to half short-ended and half open-ended. Then, the new ZOR composites EZR and MZR characteristics (called EZR-MZR resonator). Owing to the unique characteristic of the composite EZR and MZR, the proposed ZOR antenna radiates both horizontal-polarized field (uni-directional) and vertical-polarized field (omni-directional). Then, wide half power beam width (HPBW) radiation patterns were realized for the antenna. The deduction and analysis of the proposed EZR-MZR resonator were conducted based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) and ZOR theories, and field distributions. The proposed ZOR antenna was investigated with two cases of coupling feeding.
