Abstract

In this work, a review has been presented on filter designs based on microstrip technology with the implementation of metamaterials. It briefly describes the properties of various types of resonators that behave as Left handed materials. Some of the implications of SRRs, CSRRs and other structures in filter design have also been discussed.
