%X A novel tunable microwave broadband resonator,
inspired from optical laser systems, is presented. In contrast
to usual harmonic resonators, the proposed device is based on
broadband composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial
lines. This line, configured as a resonator, provides nonuniform
spectral resonances due to the nonlinear nature of its dispersion
curve. This is exploited in the impulse-regime, where the input
pulse spectrum is discretized inside the resonator, with different
spectral separation as a function of the carrier frequency. This
discretization leads to a pulse periodicity in time, with a tunable
output time period. Based on the new broadband resonator
features, a pulse rate multiplication device is proposed. This
device provides an increase in the repetition rate of a periodic
input pulse, with the additional advantage of repetition rate
tunability.
