Abstract: | Theoretical and experimental work was carried out on a terahertz metamaterial bandstop filter comprising an array of identical
subwavelength resonators, each formed by fusing a pair of printable metallic U-shapes that have their openings pointing in
opposite directions. Linear frequency tunability of the stopband electromagnetic response can be achieved by altering the
overlap distance between the two fused shapes. Tuning does not significantly affect the strength or quality factor of the
resonance. An approach to create mechanically tunable, dynamic terahertz filters is thereby suggested, with several functional
advantages. Meanwhile, an effective equivalent circuit model based on self-inductance, mutual inductance, and capacitance
has been proposed. |
