	<abstract>A method for design and implementation of a compact via-less Composite
Right/Left-Handed Transmission Line (CRLH TL) is presented. By introducing a new
circuit model, the CRLH transmission line behavior is studied versus the parameters
variations to achieve the desired characteristic impedance and electrical length. Then a
compact quarter wavelength CRLH transmission line with 70 Ω characteristic impedance is
designed as an example. Finally a very compact four way Wilkinson power divider and a
rat-race coupler are designed and fabricated by using this type of CRLH TL which exhibit
about 75% and 80% compactness, respectively.</abstract>
