Description: A method for frequency diplexing is presented. Frequency diplexing is achieved by exploiting the spatial filtering properties of planar anisotropic transmission-line metamaterials. It is shown that in such metamaterials when two of the three diagonal elements of the permeability tensor are opposite in sign, the metamaterial exhibits conical high-field regions called "resonance cones" whose angle varies with the operating frequency. The diplexer presented in this work utilises this inherent spatial filtering property of the anisotropic metamaterial. Moment-method simulations and experiments show good agreement and verify the proposed concept.
