## Abstract In this article, resonant‐type tunable metamaterial transmission lines with independent control over the electrical parameters of the line, that is, the electrical length and characteristic impedance, are presented for the first time. Tuning is achieved by loading a host microstrip line

Abstract
This article discusses radiation phenomena in a metamaterial leaky wave antenna working around 3 GHz and enabling a frequency beam steering simultaneously in the plane of the substrate and in its normal plane.The structure is based on a metamaterial transmission line periodically loaded by series capacitive gaps and complementary split ring resonators. Full‐wave simulations and measurements of radiation pattern show a minimum in the broadside direction, creating a rotating beam splitting in the plane of the substrate. This phenomenon is successfully correlated to a particular current pattern observed on the microstrip conductors of the structure. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this article, the broadband voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) using electronically controlled metamaterial transmission line based on varactor‐loaded split‐ring resonator (VLSRR) is presented. It is demonstrated that VLSRR coupled to microstrip line can lead to metamaterial transmi
