Strongly Enhanced Sensitivity in Planar Microwave Sensors Based on Metamaterial Coupling

A Planar, Layered Ultra-wideband Metamaterial Absorber for Microwave Frequencies

In this paper, an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is designed and simulated. The proposed absorber is planar and low profile. It is made of a copper sheet coated with two dielectric layers. Each unit cell of the metamaterial structure is composed of multiple metallic split rings, which are patterned on the top and middle boundaries of the dielectrics. The designed absorber utilizes differe...

Metamaterial-based wireless strain sensors

We proposed and demonstrated metamaterial-based strain sensors that are highly sensitive to mechanical deformation. Their resonance frequency shift is correlated with the surface strain of our test material and the strain data are reported telemetrically. These metamaterial sensors are better than traditional radio-frequency rf structures in sensing for providing resonances with high quality fa...

Enhancing the sensitivity of magnetic sensors by 3D metamaterial shells

Magnetic sensors are key elements in our interconnected smart society. Their sensitivity becomes essential for many applications in fields such as biomedicine, computer memories, geophysics, or space exploration. Here we present a universal way of increasing the sensitivity of magnetic sensors by surrounding them with a spherical metamaterial shell with specially designed anisotropic magnetic p...
