We design a dual-band nonlinear composite right-left handed transmission line with phase-matching achieved between the fundamental frequency and second harmonic when both interacting waves have zero phase velocity. Additionally, we show that such a transmission line supports a new regime where the generation of backward second harmonic waves is achieved from a backward fundamental frequency wave.
