Split-Ring Resonator Arrays for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting
نویسندگان
چکیده
By virtue of their ability to resonate at a wavelength much larger than the maximum dimension, Split-Ring Resonator (SRR) cells can be densely stacked to create energy harvesting arrays having per-unit-area power efficiency higher than a single SRR cell. While the concept of using metamaterial particles for electromagnetic energy harvesting had been demonstrated in our earlier work, the overall efficiency of an SRR array in comparison to classical antenna arrays is fundamental to the viability of this technology. In this work, we focus on a comparative study based on numerical fullwave simulations where an array of SRRs is compared to an array of microstrip antennas. We show that an SRR array can provide significant enhancement in power efficiency and bandwidth in comparison to the classical microstrip patch antenna. Experimental validation is provided showing SRR arrays can provide significant energy-absorption enhancement.

In this paper, an artificial neural network model is proposed to find out the resonant frequency of a metamaterial based Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (SRR). The main advantage of Hexagonal SRR is small electrical size at resonance (electrically small) in the microwave regime. The method can be used for a wide range of different depending parameters (effective radius of the Hexagonal ring, spl...
