A CPW fed metamaterial inspired Quadband circularly polarized antenna is presented in this article. The proposed antenna consists of defected ground structure with a radiating stub, which is at opposite side of the feedline. A waveguide mode of analysis is carried out for split ring resonator (SRR) and complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) to enhance the properties of metamaterials. The proposed antenna analysis is taken iteration wise and used FR-4 Material as the substrate material with Ɛ_r = 4.4 and analysed using ANSYS electromagnetic desktop. The designed antenna projecting the peak gain of 4.8 dB and it is working in the application bands of WLAN/ISM/Bluetooth at 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 3.35 WiMAX band, X-band downlink satellite communication system (7.25–7.75 GHz) and ITU band (8–8.5 GHz) with fractional bandwidth of about 70%. Proposed antenna exhibits circular polarization at 2.39–2.55 GHz, 3.05–3.1 GHz, 4–5 GHz and 6.3–6.64 GHz respectively. To know the signal integrity of the antenna, time domain analysis is carried out for identical antennas in two conditions (face to face and side by side) with the help of CST microwave studio. The designed antenna showing excellent correlation in measurements with respect to simulation results.

对太赫兹波超材料调制器的偏振响应进行了研究.提出并计算仿真了两种特殊结构的调制器,包括中心十字结构和双开口环结构.传统的开口环结构的调制器是偏振敏感的,而所研究的两种结构都是偏振不敏感的.中心十字结构是一个完全对称的金属结构,并具有完美的偏振不敏感特性.对于双开口环结构,它没有达到完全的偏振不敏感,但从太赫兹偏振透射率曲线来看,这种差别可以忽略不计.此外还模拟了双开口环的表面电流分布,并提出了产生两个谐振吸收波谷的主要机制.

Modelling and validation of microwave LPF using modified rectangular split ring resonators (SRR) and defected structures

We propose a design of lowpass filter (LPF) using modified rectangular split ring resonator (SRR) that acts as a unit cell of metamaterials. Initially, a conventional LPF of 4.5 GHz is designed and the low impedance line is replaced to produce a sharp cut-off with a modified SRR structure. A brief parametric study is done to establish a relationship between the inner perimeter of the SRR to the cut-off frequency of the proposed LPF. Same study is also done for the outer perimeter. Using this relationship, another LPF of 2.4-GHz cut-off frequency is obtained. Defected ground structures (DGS) and microstrip structures (DMS) are incorporated with the 2.4-GHz LPF structure for the removal of harmonics and better pass-band characteristics. The IE3D simulation results and the circuit simulation results are in good agreement with the measured results. The obtained structure can thus be used for several useful applications such as in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cordless phones, computers, and other wireless communication devices.

Compact SCSRR-based quad-band antenna for Bluetooth,WiMAX, WLAN,and fixed-satellite services

This research describes the detailed analysis and design of the compact complex-free structural metamaterial quad band radiating element applicable for Bluetooth, WiMAX, WLAN, and fixed-satellite service. The radiating element designed is composed of an inner angle-rotated circular Split Ring Resonator (SRR) placed within the outer square-shaped SRR interlinked by a strip to design the multiband operational characteristics and is fed by a coplanar waveguide. Suggested radiating element is imprinted over the FR4 substrate material with the electrical dimension of 28 × 31.26 × 0.8 mm³. The initial outer-closed square ring offers dual-band operation by resonating at 2.8 and 8.5 GHz frequencies, and the incorporation of a circular SRR offers quad-band operation. The unique negative permeability feature of the proposed Square and Circular Split Ring Resonator (SCSRR) structure is extracted, and its band characteristics are analyzed. Results obtained from the simulated radiating element are validated with the fabricated antenna. The measured E plane pattern resembles a numeric eight shape, and the H plane pattern is omnidirectional. Suggested SCSRR antenna offers a gain of above 3.2 dBi in all the operating bands.
