Abstract
A quatrefoil-loop-shaped metamaterial is designed in this paper to detect explosive gases in the C and X bands. It achieves three resonance frequencies at 6.5 GHz, 7.58 GHz, and 8.7 GHz with absorption rates of 99.9 %, 93.2 %, and 96.5 %, respectively. The absorber shows the same absorption at different polarization angles from 0° to 90° in both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. The absorber can sense explosive gases such as propane and butane. The sensitivity of the propane and butane is 0.47 GHz/RIU and 0.5 GHz/RIU with a quality factor of 130 and 216, respectively. The Figure of Merit values are 10 for propane and 16.67 for butane. The sensing occurs based on the refractive index. The design is based on a cost-effective FR-4 (lossy) dielectric substrate. The unit cell dimensions are 8 × 8 × 1.6 mm3. Analysis of surface current, electric fields, and magnetic fields confirms strong resonance at each band. Additionally, the design's equivalent circuit is modeled and validated in Advanced Design System (ADS). The fabricated design is measured, and the measurement results agree well with the simulated response.
期刊介绍:
In 1985, the Journal of Science was founded as a platform for publishing national and international research papers across various disciplines, including natural sciences, technology, social sciences, and humanities. Over the years, the journal has experienced remarkable growth in terms of quality, size, and scope. Today, it encompasses a diverse range of publications dedicated to academic research.
Considering the rapid expansion of materials science, we are pleased to introduce the Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices. This new addition to our journal series offers researchers an exciting opportunity to publish their work on all aspects of materials science and technology within the esteemed Journal of Science.
With this development, we aim to revolutionize the way research in materials science is expressed and organized, further strengthening our commitment to promoting outstanding research across various scientific and technological fields.
