‘Folded-Line’ Left Handed Metamaterial for Efficient Architecture Implementation

Abstract

The design of artificial metamaterial (MTM) has been proposed as an effective medium with extracted scattering parameter by applying Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NWR) equation to achieved negative permittivity and permeability. The novel architecture of ‘Folded-Line’ Left-handed metamaterial (FL-LHM) consist of split ring resonator SRR is designed and modified using LC lump elements analysis to extend bandwidth and operational frequency at 6 GHz to 12 GHz. In this study, we proposed metamaterial novel unit cell designs and simulate the performance in terms of the distribution of electric and magnetic fields, absorption, transmittance and reflectance. The unit cell of FL-LHM as medium allows controlling electromagnetic waves can cause backwave propagation is observed electromagnetic response that current induced in the closed FL-LHM unit cell. This design has its own advantage in term of FL-LHM parameter width, thickness, and absorption bandwidth and transmittance wavelength, might be severely important for particular purposes such as waveguiding or sensing application.
