This paper investigates characteristics of periodic structure of ferrite and dielectric slabs in cutoff waveguide which include left-handed operation. Transmission line model and finite element simulation are used to get dispersion characteristics and scattering parameters. Band pass response of left-handed ferrite mode at negative permeability region are discussed with backward wave phenomenon. Theoretical results show that by choosing appropriate ratio of (1) ferrite width and dielectric width, and (2) ferrite length and dielectric length, band pass response with steep edge characteristics can be obtained by the LH ferrite mode, which are confirmed with experiments using single crystal of yttrium iron garnet ferrite. Good band pass and phase shift responses are observed in S band.
