Analysis of a tuneable NZRI metamaterial unit cell for satellite applications

Abstract In this paper, a new single negative metamaterial (MTM) unit cell structure with low profile of 6.2 × m 2 is proposed. The shows near zero refractive index (NZRI) characteristics in C, X and Ku bands whereas epsilon (ENG) Ku-Band frequency. properties the proposed MTM are analysed Rogers 5880 substrate which displays permittivity. To verify effectiveness split ring resonators (SRR) as metamaterial, comparison 3 array structures created. Besides profile, tunability performance shown design by adjust central strip line width frequency resonance can be shifted controlled accordingly. Using commercially available CST software, reflection (S11) transmission (S12) parameters determined. potentially used many applications including satellite communication systems.
