Magnetoinductive waves in arrays of split-ring resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study experimentally the propagation of linear magnetoinductive waves in arrays of split-ring resonators with different orientation and spacing. We summarize our experimental results characterizing the effect of coupling of individual elements in magnetic composite metamaterials. We observe the band broadening due to the excitation of magnetoinductive waves which should impose some limitations on the effective medium approximation used to analyze metamaterials. r 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Magnetoinductive polaritons: Hybrid modes of metamaterials with interelement coupling
A theory is presented combining effective-medium theory with that of magnetoinductive (MI) waves propagating by virtue of coupling between the resonant elements. The resulting circuit equations for the split-ring resonator (SRR) loaded transmission line are shown to be analogous to those describing a continuous anisotropic magnetic plasma exhibiting spatial dispersion due to interelement coupli...
متن کاملAn experimental study of the properties of magnetoinductive waves in the presence of retardation
Magnetoinductive (MI) waves owe their existence to the magnetic coupling between metamaterial elements. First experiments confirming the existence of MI waves were carried out on capacitively loaded loops and Swiss Rolls about three orders of magnitude smaller than the operating wavelengths (5–15m) so that the radiation effects did not play any significant role. In the present paper MI waves ar...
متن کاملA theory of metamaterials based on periodically loaded transmission lines: Interaction between magnetoinductive and electromagnetic waves
The propagation of waves in a metamaterial consisting of split ring resonators sSRRsd and metallic rods is considered in several steps. The first involves the rods in isolation, the second the SRRs in isolation, and the third a combination of the two, which includes the coupling between neighboring SRRs and allows the propagation of magnetoinductive sMId waves. The mathematical formulation is b...
متن کاملTransmission Properties of Two Shifted Magnetoinductive Waveguides
Transmission properties of magnetoinductive waves propagating in two coupled one-dimensional metamaterial arrays are studied both experimentally and theoretically for the case when one of the arrays is shifted relative to the other one. Two different kinds of resonant metamaterial elements, split-pipe and spiral resonators, are investigated in the frequency bands centred at 46.2 and 586 MHz, re...
متن کاملMechanism of subwavelength imaging with bilayered magnetic metamaterials: Theory and experiment
We present a theoretical and experimental study of a bilayered metamaterial structure for subwavelength imaging of magnetic field. The simplest version of such a structure consists of one or two linear arrays of capacitively loaded split pipe resonators. Its subwavelength physics is governed by strongly anisotropic magnetic coupling between individual resonators and by propagation of magnetoind...
