One nanostructure that makes up a metamaterial is the Split Ring Resonator (SRR). SRR dimensions must be smaller than the resonance wavelength, making them crucial for near-infrared and optical responses. This effort examined nanoscale SRR characteristics in the infrared and visible ranges. SRRs composed of aluminum (Al) and gold (Au) were produced on silicon and silica substrates using electron beam lithography (EBL). The proposed structure consists of a microstrip-line-supplied SRR, a parasitic patch that is perpendicular to the ground plane, and two via holes connected by two split rings that feed the patch indirectly. Choosing the right material parameter for all such antennas depends on the planned structure. Fabrication and testing of the antenna matched simulations. Dimensions: 23.7 mm × 16.2 mm × 1.6 mm; substrate dielectric constant: 4.4. Experimental data are detailed and compared to analytical calculations. Simulation results show that metamaterials have negative permittivity and permeability in a certain frequency range, which can be predicted by an analytical method. Simulations indicated eight BRS, WiMAX, radar, and mobile phone resonance frequencies.
