Tunable split ring resonators in terahertz band

Split ring resonators (SRRs) can be used as a negative permeability medium near its magnetic resonance frequency. In this paper, a new type of THz-band magnetic resonance structure is proposed by introducing metal wires into traditional SRRs, and the effect of metal wires on the transmission characteristics of SRRs is numerically investigated. The results show that the resonant frequency of SRRs significantly decreases with the number of metal wires increasing. The parameters of metal wires, such as length Lx, width Wx and distance Gx also have influence on the resonant frequency of SRRs. Meanwhile, the results verify that the introduction of metal wires play an important role in reducing the size of the device, and cannot be affected by the presence of dielectric substrate. The new magnetic resonance structure proposed in this paper provides a reference for the design and practical applications of metamaterials in the future.

Novel miniaturized planar left-handed metamaterial transmission lines verified by the backward wave property

Based on the technique of reducing working frequency of split ring resonators (SRR)，this paper presents a miniaturized left-handed metamaterial transmission line unit，and retrieves the effective permittivity and permeability parameters from the transmission and reflection data. To verify the presence of the left-handed frequency band，3D numerical simulation is conducted to an array of left-handed metamaterials including eight units，which demonstrates that the left-handed metamaterial microstrip line can support unique backward wave property very well. Compared with conventional left-handed microstrip lines，this structure has been reduced by 60% in electrical sizes，and would be more convenient for fabrication in applications as miniaturized planar circuit components.

Varactor-loaded split ring resonators for tunable notch filters at microwave frequencies

It is demonstrated that the resonant frequency of split ring resonators (SRRs) can be tuned using varactor diodes. The resulting particle, which is called a varactor-loaded split ring resonator (VLSRR), is applied to the design of a tunable notch filter at S-band. The device consists on a microstrip transmission line with VLSRRs placed at both sides of the conductor strip. Owing to the proximity of the particles to the line the rings are excited and a transmission notch arises. It is shown that simply using two VLSRRs pairs, rejection levels above 20 dB are achieved in a 0.5 GHz tuning interval centred at 2.85 GHz. The proposed device is the first tunable notch filter based on SRRs.
