Split-ring_resonator_array_10K_sq_nm.jpg


Summary

Description
English: Figure 2 Part of the left-handed metamaterial array configuration, which was constructed of copper split-ring resonators and wires mounted on interlocking sheets of fiberglass circuit board. The total array consists of 3 by 20 by 20 unit cells with overall dimensions of 10 by 100 by 100 mm.

Split-ring resonator consisting of an inner square with a split on one side embedded in an outer square with a split on the other side. Split-ring resonators are on the front and right surfaces of the square grid, and single vertical wires are on the back and left surfaces. References:
