Impedance Loaded Omni-directional Left-handed Loop Antenna
An omni-directional left-handed loop antenna was proposed by Iizuka and Hall in [1]. The antenna consists of wires and LC lumped elements to load the wires appropriately. Figure 1 shows the geometry of this antenna.

The loop antenna was simulatd with LC loads placed as indicated to compute the S-parameters for the antenna. Figure 2 draws a comparison between the published and computed results for S-parameters.
