Design and double negative property verification of C band left-handed metamaterial

In this article, a left‐handed (LH) metamaterial with miniaturized unit cell and broad bandwidth is designed. Its relative bandwidth is 56.4%, and the unit cell electrical size is 0.067 at the central frequency where the LH metamaterial is available. The effective permittivity and effective permeabi...

Summary:In this article, a left‐handed (LH) metamaterial with miniaturized unit cell and broad bandwidth is designed. Its relative bandwidth is 56.4%, and the unit cell electrical size is 0.067 at the central frequency where the LH metamaterial is available. The effective permittivity and effective permeability are extracted from the transmission and reflection data at normal incidence for the LH metamaterial proposed here. The double negative (DNG) property is shown by the simultaneously negative effective permittivity and effective permeability and is confirmed by the equivalent circuit. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
