Positive-Negative-Positive Metamaterial Consisting of Ferrimagnetic Host and Wire ArrayAbstract
The positive-negative-positive metamaterial consisting of ferrimagnetic host and wire array is presented in this paper. Such metamaterial possesses three pass bands resulting from the interactions between the ferrimagnetic host and the wire array. The necessary parameter conditions are theoretically investigated and then the transmission and refraction properties are demonstrated by numerical method. The results show that the metamaterial exhibits three transmission peaks at frequencies of 7.1 GHz, 10.9 GHz, and after 15.5 GHz, respectively. The refraction directions at corresponding frequencies show that the metamaterial indeed exhibits positive-negative-positive refractive characteristics. Such metamaterial offers the potential applications, such as, multiband band pass filter, wavelength divider, and coupler.
