In this review paper, a comprehensive study on the concept, theory, and applications of composite right/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH-TLs) by considering their use in antenna system designs have been provided. It is shown that CRLH-TLs with negative permittivity (ε <; 0) permeability (μ unique properties do not occur naturally. Therefore, they are referred to as artificial structures called "metamaterials". These include series left-handed (LH) capacitances (C <sub...
