Electromagnetic characteristics of serpentine shaped metamaterial in terahertz region

Abstract

In medical applications, a serpentine shaped metal electrode is widely used as the electrode of flexible and stretchable devices. Also, terahertz (THz) technology has been intense attraction for the medical applications due to the harmlessness to human body. Although the serpentine shaped metal electrode is used for bio-application electronic devices, it can also gain the electromagnetic characteristics through the resonance of geometrical inductance and capacitance. We therefore conducted a computational study of a serpentine shaped metamaterial (SSM) to investigate the electromagnetic response in THz using by commercial software (CST Microwave Studio). The detailed results will be discussed.
