Multi-band terahertz two-handed metamaterial based on the combined ring and cross pairs

We present the design of a Multiband two-handed metamaterial (MM) with the composite structure combined ring and cross pairs (RP + CP) in the terahertz regime. The dual-band left-handed and single-band right-handed transmission properties of this composite structure were explored by the FDTD method. The MM exhibits left-handed and right-handed transmission pass bands around the frequencies of 0.43 THz, 1.32 THz and 0.85 THz for the terahertz electromagnetic (EM) wave normal incidence, respectively. The surface currents distributions are demonstrated to discuss the physical mechanism of the left-handed properties of the proposed MM. The retrieved equivalent EM parameters and the refraction phenomenon based on a wedge-shaped model verify the left-handed properties. Furthermore, the dual-band left-handed transmission properties of RP + CP structure can be tunable individually by changing the structural parameters. The presented design of terahertz two-handed MM offers a flexibility for investigation of their novel EM properties, and important terahertz device applications.     

Dual and broadband power dividers at microwave frequencies based on composite right/left handed (CRLH) lattice networks

This paper proposes a dual-band power divider operating at GHz frequencies and implemented by means of impedance transformers (also called inverters) based on lattice networks and transmission line sections. The dual-band functionality of the proposed device is achieved thanks to the composite right/left handed (CRLH) behavior of the impedance transformers, able to provide −90° and +90° phase shift at the first and second design frequencies, respectively, of the divider. By using such combination of transmission line sections and lattice networks, the characteristic impedance of the impedance transformers is roughly constant over wide bandwidths, with the results of broad operating bands. To demonstrate the possibilities of the approach, a prototype device is designed, fabricated and characterized.     

A dual-band polarization insensitive metamaterial absorber with split ring resonator

A dual-band polarization insensitive absorber has been proposed . Unlike the previous dual band absorber composed of composite structures, only one square metal ring with a slit at the middle of each side can be used to achieve the dual-band absorption. The calculated results show two distinct absorption peaks of 0.96 at 10 GHz and 0.99 at 20 GHz. In addition, the positions of the two peaks are strongly influenced by the width of the slit (g). More importantly, the absorptions of the two peaks keep higher than 0.9 while g changing. The dual-band absorber may have many potential applications in scientific and technological areas because of its excellent absorption characteristics and concise structure.     

DESIGN OF A NOVEL 2-D UNIPLANAR CRLH-TL STRUCTURE

A novel uniplanar 2-D composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structure is proposed based on a general transmission line theory and the way to increase the relative operating bandwidth in the left-handed (LH) region and lower the LH operating frequency is illustrated. In addition, a new method to extract parameters and calculate the Bloch impedance of the structure is presented. Numerical results of the dispersion as well as the extracted parameters are given, which are calculated based on full-wave simulation. The present 2-D uniplanar CRLH-TL structure is applicable to 2-D left-handed materials in lower and wider LH frequency range.

A Novel Parallel-Series Feeding Network of Microstrip Patch Arrays with Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Line for Millimeter Wave Applications*

A novel parallel-series feeding network of microstrip patch arrays with composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) for millimeter wave applications is proposed. Since there is no inserting phase shift in the patch elements with CRLH-TL feeding structure, the inherent pattern shift resulting from the traditional parallel-series feeding network is removed. Besides, because of the simpler structure and the shorter length of the CRLH-TL feeding network, the antenna array is of higher gain than that with the conventional parallel feeding network.* Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 60371010) and (No. 60471037)     

Monochromatic Composite Right/Left Handedness in the Quantized Composite Right/Left Handed Transmission Line

Macro composite right/left handedness (CRLH) signifies positive/negative refraction index in different frequency bands in the composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH-TL). In this paper, the refraction index of a quantized CRLH-TL in the thermal squeezed state is visited. Performing explicit calculations on the squeezed parameters and electronic components' parameters, a novel regime for implementing CRLH with a single operating frequency via the squeezed parameters and electronic components' parameters is found. The definitely different monochromatic CRLH enriches the initial definition of CRLH, and may propose a novel direction to implement CRLH in metamaterials.     

Design and experimental verification of a dual-band metamaterial filter

In this paper, we present the design, simulation, and experimental verification of a dual-band free-standing metamaterial filter operating in a frequency range of 1 THz–30 THz. The proposed structure consists of periodically arranged composite air holes, and exhibits two broad and flat transmission bands. To clarify the effects of the structural parameters on both resonant transmission bands, three sets of experiments are performed. The first resonant transmission band shows a shift towards higher frequency when the side width w_1 of the main air hole is increased. In contrast, the second resonant transmission band displays a shift towards lower frequency when the side width w_2 of the sub-holes is increased, while the first resonant transmission band is unchanged. The measured results indicate that these resonant bands can be modulated individually by simply optimizing the relevant structural parameters(w_1 or w_2) for the required band. In addition, these resonant bands merge into a single resonant band with a bandwidth of 7.7 THz when w_1 and w_2 are optimized simultaneously. The structure proposed in this paper adopts different resonant mechanisms for transmission at different frequencies and thus offers a method to achieve a dual-band and low-loss filter.     

Dual-band microwave duplexer based on spiral resonators (SR) and complementary split ring resonators (CSRR)

In this work, a microstrip dual-band microwave duplexer implemented by means of a pair of dual-band branch-line hybrid couplers and a pair of dual-band band-stop filters is presented. The hybrid couplers are implemented by using complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs), etched in the ground plane, while the band-stop filters are made of spiral resonators (SRs) coupled to the host line. The measured duplexer characteristics are good and the device is compact by virtue of the small electrical size of the employed resonant elements. From this paper, it is clear that CSRRs and SRs are useful particles for the design of dual-band microwave systems requiring various microwave components.
