OBIALA-EZENWA, E.; MAYA-SANCHEZ, M.C.  e  REYNOSO-HERNANDEZ, J.A.. Improved method for extracting the equivalent circuit elements of a CRLH-TL unit cell. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2015, vol.61, n.2, pp.112-116. ISSN 0035-001X.

This paper presents an improved method to extract the parameters of an equivalent circuit model of a CRLH-TL unit cell. This method is based on the analysis of the unit cell equivalent circuit admittance and impedance frequency dependence. This procedure is validated using both, electromagnetic simulation data, and measured scattering parameters. The proposed methodology is easy, and has a better performance than the existing method.
