Development of Analog Nonlinear Materials Using Varactor Loaded Split-ring Resonator Metamaterials

a compact and sharp-rejection ultra-wideband (uwb) microstrip band-pass filter (bpf) is developed using of left handed metamaterials realized by complementary split ring resonator (csrr). moreover, proposed structure consists of two doublets parallel coupling gaps at each side of a microstrip ring. in comparison with some other filters, this structure shows a significantly wider passband due to...

We present a method of making low loss split-ring resonators for microfluidic sensing at microwave frequencies using silver coated copper wire. We show that a simple geometric modification and the use of square cross-section wire give greater electric field confinement in the capacitive region of the resonant sensor. We use a combination of theoretical analysis, finite element simulations and e...

743 Artificial composite structures containing electric conducting elements or metamaterials have recently attracted much attention in view of their unique propp erties of negative magnetic susceptibility and backk ward wave propagation. In contrast to crystals, metamaterials allow control of the macroscopic charr acteristics by choosing the types and geometry of their structural elements [1–3]...

A terahertz microscope has been used to excite and observe the resonant modes of a single split ring resonator in the reactive and radiative near-field zones. The two lowest resonant modes of an isolated split ring resonator with their corresponding radiation patterns are reported; they showed good agreement to simulations. The passage from the reactive to radiative near-field zone is also disc...

We study experimentally the dynamic tunability and self-induced nonlinearity of split-ring resonators incorporating variable capacitance diodes. We demonstrate that the eigenfrequencies of the resonators can be tuned over a wide frequency range, and significantly, we show that the self-induced nonlinear effects observed in the varactor-loaded split-ring resonator structures can appear at relati...

In this article, an open slot split ring resonator (OSSRR) is introduced to realize a composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission line structure in microstrip technology. The CRLH line is synthesized by etching OSSRR in the ground plane and interdigital capacitor in the microstrip line. Simulated and measured scattering parameter of the structure is presented. The dispersion characteristic ...

Patch hybrid couplers are used to provide arbitrary power division ratio over two frequency bands. The coupler is designed using three main topologies. They are Branch-line, Coupled-line and Patch. Branch-line and Coupled-line provides equal power division ratio over two frequency bands. Patch structure provides arbitrary power division ratios. The patch hybrid coupler is the rapid development ...

We report on direct measurements of the magnetic near-field of metamaterial split ring resonators at terahertz frequencies using a magnetic field sensitive material. Specifically, planar split ring resonators are fabricated on a single magneto-optically active terbium gallium garnet crystal. Normally incident terahertz radiation couples to the resonator inducing a magnetic dipole oscillating pe...
