We report the transmission characteristics of split-ring resonator and left-handed metamaterials (LHM) in the microwave frequency regime. A left-handed transmission band is observed at the frequencies where both dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability are negative. The reflection characteristics of ordered and disordered LHMs are studied. The two-dimensional LHM structure is verified ...

We introduce a new configuration of optical NOR logic gateimplementedby using two symmetric circular shaped photonic crystal ring resonator made of dielectric Indium Phosphide rods in air substrate. The switching behavior of proposed optical gate was analyzed based on beam interference principle and perturbation theory. Numerical calculations were carried out by optiFDTD tool using a 2D FDTD do...

In this paper, we present a study of tuneable equilateral triangular shaped spilt ring resonator (ETSRR). In this ETSRR we rotate the inner and outer rings by varying the position of the splits in rings. For this we used radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switches. By making MEMS switches ON/OFF, the positions of splits in the rings were varied which can be considered as ro...

The design and development of a multiband ceramic material-based optical antenna are discussed. A square-shaped aperture is utilized to excite the silicon-based dielectric resonator. This type excitation system provides capability create triple hybrid mode (HEM11δ, HEM12δ, HEM11δ + 2) inside cylindrical-shaped material. Due this feature, proposed aerial operating over diverse frequency bands, i...

A novel microstrip lowpass filter is proposed to achieve a very wide stopband and high selectivity as well as compact size. This filter utilizes a resonator with symmetric structure that consists of a transmission line, loaded with open stubs. Each stub ends with a defected taper and these tapers are coupled two by two to generate enhanced capacitances and increase the selectivity. Two units of...

A new technique to evaluate the dielectric constant and loss factor of a homogeneous dielectric material using rectangular shaped perturb cavity has been developed. The values of S-parameters are measured experimentally by placing the sample in the center of the cavity resonator. Sample under test is fabricated in the form of a cylinder. The real and imaginary part of the permittivity can be th...

A compact (0.16 g × 0.08 g) and wide stopband lowpass filter design using open complementary split ring resonator (OCSRR) and defected ground structure (DGS) is presented in this paper. Low pass filter is constructed using two cascaded stages of OCSRR. Since the rejection bandwidth of the OCSRR is narrow, tapered dumbbell shaped DGS section is placed under the OCSRR to enhance the bandwidth. Th...

We perform ray and wave simulations of passive and active spiral-shaped optical microcavities, comparing our results to experimental data obtained with mid-infrared quantum cascade spiral microlasers. Focusing on the angular emission characteristics, we find that both ray and wave simulations are consistent with the experimental data, showing richly-featured, multidirectional far-field emission...

Coupled resonators are widely used in the design of filters with dual-passband responses. In this paper, we present a dual-band bandpass filter using only couplings between adjacent resonators without cross-couplings. The dual-band bandpass filter with centre frequencies of 1747MHz and 1879MHz respectively is designed and fabricated using microstrip U-shaped resonators. Using the coupled resona...
