A design of dual band amplifier using composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line structure is described. First, two single-band matching networks are designed for two frequencies, and they are synthesized into one dual band matching network. It is shown that CRLH transmission lines with arbitrary dual frequencies and dual electrical lengths can be designed. The CRLH transmission line section for the dual band matching network is implemented by lumped inductors and capacitors as the left handed (LH) section, and normal transmission line elements as the right handed (RH) section. As an example, a dual band amplifier for 1800MHz and 2300MHz is designed and measured. The simulated and measured performances well verify the proposed design by showing good matching and gain responses at the desired frequencies.
