I. INTRODUCTION
RECENTLY, the complementary split ring resonator (CSRR)
(a)
(see Fig. 1) structures have already received considerable
attentions due to its potential applications to the synthesis of
negative permittivity and left handed (LH) metamaterials in
planar configuration [1], [2]. As explained in [1], the CSRR is th back

down the bandgap location.
CSRR and the size of the CSRR is only about 1/16 of operating
