A Novel Single-Sided Wideband Metamaterial
Keywords:
P-rings, left-handed material (LHM), metamaterials, double negative (DNG), wideband metamaterialsAbstract
A simplified structure made of double P-like rings (DPLs), printed on only one side of a dielectric substrate was proposed. A metamaterial sample is investigated numerically and experimentally. The results clearly show that the negative refraction occurs at the transmission band, and one very wide left-handed passband is obtained. A circuit model is also carried out to be a further analysis of the DPLs unit cell.
