Applications of the theory to a single split ring resonator (SRR) yield essentially the same results with finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) simulations on realistic structures, which justify some basic assumptions adopted in the theory. We then apply the theory to study the resonance properties of a double-stack SRR, and show that such a planar resonator exhibits magnetic responses along all three dimensions under different conditions. FDTD simulations on realistic structures are performed to successfully verify the predictions based on the extended mode-expansion theory, and reveal that mutual-SRR interactions in a periodic SRR array may lead to a significant change of the eigenmode properties, including a reversal of the frequency sequence for two resonance modes.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122225469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the frequency region of first and second passbands, the position and time behavior of a Gaussian modulated waveform with frequency from 0.5 GHz to 3.2 GHz is investigated and it shows that the phase velocity and group velocity are parallel along the photonic crystal transmission line (PC TL) .

In analysis, a full-wave self-calibrated method of moments (MoM) is applied to de-embedding these two PUL parameters from simulation of two-port finite-extent CPW sections. Firstly, 1-D CPW-based EBG material with periodical loading of series-inductive units is studied to provide a physical insight into slow-wave and bandstop behaviors of guided-wave. Then, CPW metamaterials with simultaneous series-capacitive and shunt-inductive loading are investigated to demonstrate the guided-wave performances in the distinctive left- (LH) and right-handed (RH) passbands. It is demonstrated that the stopband or bandgap between the LH and RH passbands can be wholly eliminated by properly selecting distributed CPW elements. A few CPW circuits based on these 1-D EBG and metamaterials are in final fabricated to confirm the theoretical predictions.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"35 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127185207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
