This paper presents a technique to miniaturize bandstop filters applicable for radiofrequency/microwave applications. The technique comprises the use of small resonant inclusions bridged with a slot, etched from the metallic ground plane underneath the filter’s microstrip line segment. Unlike artificial magnetic materials, for instance split-ring resonators (SRRs) that respond to vertical magne...

Theory of nonlinear metamaterials [1] predicted that the hysteresis-type dependence of magnetic permeability on the field intensity may allow dramatic changes of the material properties. As the first step towards creating tunable nonlinear metamaterials we studied dynamic tunability of the magnetic resonance of a single nonlinear split-ring resonator [2] and revealed different tuning regimes of...

A key structure in so-called metamaterial mediums is the elementary split-ring resonator. We consider in this paper the lowfrequency electromagnetic scattering by a split-ring particle modelled as a perfectly conducting wire ring, furnished with a narrow gap, and derive analytical solutions for the electric and magnetic dipole moments for different kinds of incidence and polarisation in the qua...

Abstract—In this paper, a compact microstrip wideband bandpass filter (BPF) based on square ring loaded resonator (SRLR) is proposed. The SRLR is formed by loading a pair of bent open-stubs outside the diagonal corners of a square ring, which generates three split degenerated modes. The first two split modes form a dominant wideband passband. By introducing another pair of loaded open-stubs, th...
