In this paper, a wideband antenna was designed for super-wideband (SWB) applications. The proposed antenna was fed with a rectangular tapered microstrip feed line, which operated over a SWB frequency range (1.42 GHz to 50 GHz). The antenna was implemented at a compact size with electrical dimensions of 0.16 λ × 0.27 λ × 0.0047 λ mm3, where λ was with respect to the lowest resonance frequency. The proposed antenna prototype was fabricated on a F4B substrate, which had a permittivity of 2.65 and 1 mm thickness. The SWB antenna exhibited an impedance bandwidth of 189% and a bandwidth ratio of 35.2:1. Additionally, the proposed antenna design exhibited three band notch characteristics that were necessary to eradicate interference from WLAN, WiMAX, and X bands in the SWB range. One notch was achieved by etching an elliptical split ring resonator (ESRR) in the radiator and the other two notches were achieved by placing rectangular split ring resonators close to the signal line. The first notch was tuned by incorporating a varactor diode into the ESRR. The prototype was experimentally validated with, with notch and without notch characteristics for SWB applications. The experimental results showed good agreement with simulated results.

Abstract A compact ultrawideband (UWB) antenna with reconfigurable triple band notch characteristics is proposed in this paper. The antenna consists of a coplanar waveguide-fed top-cut circular-shaped radiator with two etched C-shaped slots, a pair of split-ring resonators (SRRs) on the backside and four p-type intrinsic n-type (PIN) diodes integrated in the slots and SRRs. By controlling the current distribution in the slots and SRRs, the antenna can realize eight band notch states with independent switch ability, which allows UWB to coexist with 5G (3.3–4.4 GHz)/WiMAX (3.3–3.6 GHz), WLAN (5.15–5.825 GHz), and X-band (7.9–8.4 GHz) bands without interference. By utilizing a nested structure of C-shaped slots and SRRs on the backside, a compact size of 18 × 19.5 mm2 is achieved along with multimode triple band notch reconfigurability. The antenna covers a bandwidth of 3.1–10.6 GHz. A prototype is fabricated and tested. The simulated and experimental results are in good agreement.

This paper presents a compact tri-band waveguide bandpass filter using concentric multiple complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs). Two symmetrical concentric multiple CSRRs are placed on the transverse plane of a standard WR-90 rectangular waveguide at 8.41[Formula: see text]mm distance to achieve dual-pole, tri-band response. The proposed filter has been simulated using Ansoft High Frequency Simulation Software (version 14). Based on the simulated result the filter has been fabricated and tested. The measured result shows a dual-pole, tri-band, bandpass response with passbands at 8.04–8.2675[Formula: see text]GHz, 9.45–9.84925[Formula: see text]GHz and 11.35–12.005[Formula: see text]GHz, which is in good agreement with the simulated responses. The total length of the filter is 10[Formula: see text]mm, which makes it compact and light weight. An approximate equivalent circuit of the filter also has been provided.

Abstract An aperture coupled two element metamaterial (MTM) antenna suitable for multiple input multiple output (MIMO) applications in the frequency band of 7.525-9.1GHz is proposed. This three-layered structure utilizes a vertical array of rectangular complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) between the contiguously placed circular non-bianisotropic complementary split ring resonator (NBCSRR) radiating elements for enhancement of isolation. This antenna achieves a maximum of 47dB isolation through this MNG structure insertion in the frequency band for 0.11 λ0 separation of the two antenna elements. The proposed antenna achieves a fractional -10dB impedance bandwidth of 18.94% and has a peak gain of 8.15dB. The efficiency of the antenna is 84.14% and the envelope correlation coefficient is less than 0.03 in the operating band. The antenna is low profile with an overall size of 0.85 λ0 x 0.45 λ0 x 0.133 λ0 and is suitable for X-band military applications.

This paper presents an innovative method for the design of a triple band meta-mode antenna. This unique design of antenna finds application in a particular frequency band of WLAN and WiMAX. This antenna comprises of a square complimentary split ring resonator (SCSRR), a coaxial feed, and two symmetrical comb shaped split ring resonators (CSSRR). The metamaterial unit cell SCSRR independently gains control in the band range 3.15–3.25 GHz (WiMAX), whereas two symmetrical CSSRR unit cell controls the band in the ranges 3.91–4.01 GHz and 5.79–5.94 GHz (WLAN). This design methodology and the study of the suggested unit cells structure are reviewed in classical waveguide medium theory. The antenna has a miniaturized size of only 0.213λ0 × 0.192λ0 × 0.0271λ0 (20 × 18 × 2.54 mm3, where λ0 is the free space wavelength at 3.2 GHz). The detailed dimension analysis of the proposed antenna and its radiation efficiency are also presented in this paper. All the necessary simulations are carried out in High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) 13.0 tool.

A novel method to design a wideband substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) bandpass filter (BPF) with compact size, wide stopband and high selectivity is presented. In this method some unique electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) cells are periodically etched on the top layer of SIW to realize a wide passband propagating below the equivalent waveguide cutoff frequency. By changing the configuration of EBG cells, undesired harmonics in upper stopband can be suppressed and a wideband BPF with wide stopband can be obtained. By symmetrically loading two complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) on the tapered gradient lines of the input/output ports, a transmission zero near the passband can be introduced, and it makes the frequency selectivity of upper sideband improve significantly. As a verification, a wideband SIW BPF with a 3.02 GHz absolute bandwidth (ABW) and a 64.7% fractional bandwidth (FBW) centered at 4.67 GHz is designed, simulated, manufactured, and measured. The results of the experiment and simulation are in good agreement.

Abstract. Split-ring resonators are electrical circuits, which enable highly sensitive readout of split capacity changes via a measurement of the shift in the resonance frequency. Thus, functionalization of the split allows the development of biosensors, where selective molecular binding causes a change in permittivity and therefore a change in split capacity. In this work, we present a novel approach using transmission line theory to describe the dependency between permittivity of the sample and resonance frequency. This theory allows the identification of all relevant parameters of a split-ring resonator and thus a target-oriented optimization process. Hereby all setup optimizations are verified with measurements. Subsequently, the split of a resonator is functionalized with aptamers and the sensor response is investigated. This preliminary experiment shows that introducing the target protein results in a shift in the resonance frequency caused by a permittivity change due to aptamer-mediated protein binding, which allows selective detection of the target protein.

AbstractA varactor-loaded half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) reconfigurable bandpass filter (BPF) is proposed in this paper. The proposed BPF is composed of complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs) and varactors. Meanwhile, a nonmetalized via is employed in the center of the CSRR. It is noted that the varactor is embedded into the nonmetalized via, which can significantly reduce the tunable filter size. By changing the reverse bias voltage of the varactor, the resonant frequency of the proposed filter can be adjusted. Moreover, low insert loss (IL) and wide tuning range can be achieved. In order to validate its practicability, a BPF with the frequency ranging from 1.9 GHz to 2.5 GHz is fabricated and good agreement between the simulated and measured results is observed.

Based on the twist revised split ring resonators (TR-SRRs) inspired filter unit a microstrip bandpass diplexer with highly compact size and high frequency selection and isolation properties is synthesized and systematically characterized. The proposed filter unit exhibits both electric and magnetic coupling effects and possesses two resonance modes (magnetic and electronic resonances). The two resonance modes can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the gap between the two TR-SRRs. The synthesized diplexer has very simple configuration with size of0.217λd×0.217λdand degree of freedom for impedance matching. Measurement and simulation demonstrations are performed in this paper and a good agreement is achieved. The measured results indicate two quite close frequency channels (centered at 2.16 GHz and 2.91 GHz) with isolation larger than 30 dB. The proposed diplexer can be easily integrated into miniaturized RF/microwave integrated circuits.
