The enhanced radiation performance of a dipole antenna backed by the split ring resonator-continuous wire pair array working in the H┴ excitation scenario is presented in this paper.  The H┴ excitation scenario of the metamaterial is used to get zero reflection phase resulting in enhanced gain performance. The two layer meta-structure along with the dipole is fabricated on a low cost substrate of dielectric constant 4.4 and height 1mm. The reflection properties of the metamaterial structure and its effect on the radiation performance of the dipole antenna are presented in this paper.

Material characterization method based on radio frequency and microwave measurements is highly demanded. The dielectric properties are very important for electronic circuit design, food industry, and medicine and health care. In this work, a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR)-based sensor employed in the ground plane is proposed for dielectric measurement. This method enables the determination of both relative permittivity and relative permeability at the same time as well as simple sample preparation process. This project focuses on the design, simulation and the prediction formulae of the CSRR. This CSRR is resonating at 2.477 GHz with a quality factor of 128.91 in unloaded condition. Basically, there are shifting in the resonance frequency and the change of the quality factor when dielectric material is placed at the sensing area in separate zones. Four prediction formulas are proposed, which they are depend on the dielectric constant, real permeability, normalized resonance frequency, inverse normalized quality factor, electric loss tangent and magnetic loss tangent of the materials. These formulae are used to measure the permittivity and permeability of FR-4, Polyimide, and self-defined material. Based on the comparison, the percentage error between calculated result and reference data are 10% and 4.1% for electric and magnetic loss tangent respectively. The maximum percentage error in dielectric constant and real permeability are 4.5% and 4.29% respectively. Based on the percentage of error, it is convincing that the prediction formulas are reliable for dielectric measurement. Future work of this project should focus on verification of its actual performance through experimental measurement.

In this letter, a compact complementary split ring based tri-band antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna resonates at 1.9 GHz (1.70-1.91 GHz), 2.45 GHz (2.23-2.52 GHz) and 3.2 GHz (2.9-3.25 GHz); the input match values are 24.56 dB, 27.21 dB and 22.46 dB, respectively. The antenna’s realised peak gain is 4.15 dBm at 1.9 GHz, 4.25 dBm at 2.4 GHz and 4.74 dBm at 3.2 GHz, with approximately 42% of reduction in antenna size. The results demonstrate that the proposed metamaterial antenna is tunable, electrically small and highly efficient, which makes it a suitable candidate for RF energy harvesting. The antenna is numerically and experimentally analysed and validated with very good comparison between the simulated and measured results.

In this paper characterization of dielectric materials in liquid and powder phase using concentric closed and split ring resonators of length λ, λ/2, and λ/4 is reported. Experimental results have been validated by simulations and theoretically modeling. Sensitivity of the resonator with closed rings was maximum. Experimentally extracted values of dielectric constant of ferrite ranged from 14.05 to 15.1 with closed ring resonators and from 13.6 to 14.02 with split ring resonator, respectively. For spirulina platensis the dielectric constant was lying in the range 1.78–1.93 and 1.74–2.04 with closed ring and split ring resonators, respectively. The values extracted experimentally are in good agreement with simulation and theoretically found values. However, the values obtained from closed ring resonator were in agreement with the dielectric constant values of ferrite and spirulina platensis.

Background: In this paper, an ultra-wide-band bandpass filter with large stopband using interdigital coupled lines and pair of Square Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (SCSRR) is proposed. Methods: Interdigital coupled lines give bandpass characteristics and pair of SCSRR provides tuning of cut off frequencies and transmission zeroes on both side of the passband. In the passband, two transmission poles are achieved. The tightly coupled structure provides a wide stopband and sharp skirt response. Results: Dielectric constant 2.6 and its thickness of 0.787 mm is used to implement the design. Centre frequency of the proposed design is 5.1 GHz. Bandwidth at -3 dB is 3.5 GHz to 6.5 GHz. Conclusion: The proposed structure is simulated in Ansoft HFSS.
