Abstract
A narrow metal strip inspired by the left-handed metamaterial and sensitive LC resonator structure has been released in this work where the narrow metal strip is presented as a tunnel structure which can enhance electric and magnetic properties. A commercially available electromagnetic simulator CST Microwave Studio is utilized to design and investigate the eSRR (electric split-ring resonator) and tunnelled LC resonator structures. Furthermore, ADS (Advance Design software) is used to determine the scattering parameters of the equivalent circuit. The proposed metamaterial structure is employed as a sensor operating in the C-band (6.88 GHz) of the microwave region, and its sensing properties are tested using glossy paper as an obstacle. The designed metamaterial tunnelling structure exhibits very high sensitivity toward dielectric obstacles at different rotational angles and thus can be potentially used in various sensing applications. The field enhancement effects on sensing application are verified by measured obtained results for eSRR and tunnelled LC resonator structures.
