Metamaterials are artificial materials engineered to have exotic properties that may not be found in nature, and it provides a novel tool to significantly enhance the sensitivity of sensors, and open new degrees of freedom in sensing design aspect. In this paper, a metamaterial sensor based on microstrip-line-excited SRR is developed, and its properties are analyzed in theory and simulated by full wave simulations. The results show good agreement with the theory. On this basis, single-channel sensor is extended to two channels and even four channels sensor. By observing and comparing the transmission profile by putting different sample on every channel, we found that the multi-channel sensor can work independently and posses good selectivity. Furthermore, the sensitivity of sensor will be greatly enhanced with the increase of SRR thicknesses. This work would pave a new way to design sensor with higher performance.

This paper presents a design methodology for the implementation of a miniaturized square patch antenna and its circuit model for 5.15 GHz ISM band. The miniaturization is achieved by employing concentric complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) structures in between the patch and ground plane. The results are compared with the traditional square patch antenna in terms of area, bandwidth, and efficiency. The area is reduced with a ratio of 1/4 with respect to the traditional patch. The miniaturized square patch antenna has an efficiency, bandwidth, and reflection coefficient of 78%, 0.4%, and −16 dB, respectively. The measurement and circuit modeling results show a good agreement with the full-wave electromagnetic simulations.

AbstractA super-wideband microstrip fractal antenna is designed with miniaturized dimensions of 21 mm × 23.5 mm × 1 mm and generation of dual rejection bands for WLAN/WiMAX systems has been achieved. The triangular fractal shape slots are placed inside a circular patch and the antenna is miniaturized by using a repetition frequency resonance technique. The proposed antenna frequency range 2.6–40 GHz operates for VSWR of less than 2. Two band rejections for the frequency ranges 5.1–5.8 GHz and 3.4–3.7 GHz are created by one enhanced slot at the feed line and one split-ring resonator at the back of antenna. HFSS 3D software was used for computer simulation. The proposed antenna is fabricated on the FR4 substrate with 1 mm thickness. The measurement data show good agreement with the simulation results.

Fractal Minkowski patch antenna is proposed. Classical complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) is slotted on the patch. For comparison, fractal Hilbert shape split ring resonator also slotted on the patch. These slots make the patch behaves as a left-handed material in certain frequency band. Minkowski fractal antenna has three resonance frequencies. The complementary split ring resonator and Hilbert ring affects the upper two frequencies and make the antenna resonate at lower frequencies. Lowering the resonance frequencies cause a reduction in antenna size. More reduction of antenna size is obtained when fractal Hilbert is used as complementary split ring resonator. The simulated results have been done by using (HFSS) software, which is based on finite element modeling. The measurement of fabricated antenna shows good agreement with simulation results

A compact multiband circularly polarized slot antenna is proposed here. An F-shaped microstrip feedline is used to excite the square slot antenna loaded with a U-shaped strip and a split ring resonator (SRR) to generate three circularly polarized bands at 1.5 GHz, 2.75 GHz and 3.16 GHz. A meandered slot is used in the feedline and the U-strip to improve the axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW). The meandered feedline excites the slot to produce resonance at 2.5 GHz. This resonance along with that of the F-shaped feed, loaded SRR and U-strip combine to give rise to three circularly polarized bands which can be tuned depending on the feed, SRR and U-strip dimensions. The orientation of the F-shaped feed decides the sense of polarization of the three circularly polarized bands of the proposed antenna. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a substrate of FR4 material with dimensions 50 x 50 x 1.56 mm3. The antenna is prototyped and measured in terms of impedance bandwidth, ARBW, gain and efficiency. The simulated and measured results show reasonably good agreement.

Abstract A compact balanced bandpass filter (BPF) based on complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) -loaded substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is reported in this paper. Both TE102 and TE201 modes of the SIW cavity can be excited under differential-mode (DM) operation with the proper positions of the balanced feeds. Meanwhile, the CSRR etched on the top layer of the substrate can also be excited by the axial electric excitation. Then, three transmission poles and two transmission zeros (TZs) have been obtained which improve the selectivity of the DM passband. To verify the above design concept, an X-band prototype operating at 8 GHz has been fabricated and measured. A good agreement is observed between the simulations and the measurements.
