Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate an active metamaterial manifesting electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect in the microwave regime. The metamaterial unit cell consists of a double-cross structure, between which a varactor diode is integrated. The capacitance of the diode is controlled by a reversed electrical bias voltage supplied through two connected strip lines. The diode behaves as a radiative resonant mode and the strip lines as a non-radiative resonant mode. The two modes destructively interference with each other through conductive coupling, which leads to a transmission peak in EIT effect. Through electrical control of the diode capacitance, the transmission peak frequency is shifted from 7.4 GHz to 8.7 GHz, and the peak-to-dip ratio is tuned from 1.02 to 1.66, demonstrating a significant tunability.
