Parameters of the active CRLH-TL metamaterial as a function of frequency: (a) Attenuation constant α (solid line) and phase constant β (dotted line); (b) Real and imaginary part of the effective index of refraction neff (assuming a realistic unit cell physical length of 3 mm); (c) Real and imaginary part of the effective permittivity εeff (assuming a realistic unit cell physical length of 3 mm); (d) Real and imaginary part of the effective permeability µeff (assuming a realistic unit cell physical length of 3 mm).
