چکیده

Magnetoinductive waves propagating along a line consisting of two kinds of metamaterial elements are studied. Both elements are made up by the same metallic loop but are loaded by different capacitors resulting in different resonant frequencies. The dispersion characteristics are derived from phase and amplitude measurements for the cases when the line consists of (i) identical elements and (ii) of alternating elements. Both planar (elements in the same plane as the axis of the line) and axial (elements perpendicular to the axis of the line) configurations are investigated. It is shown that in the bi-periodic arrangement of the elements, the dispersion curves have a forward wave in the lower frequency branch and a backward wave in the upper frequency branch independent of the configuration whether it is planar or axial. Comparisons between theoretical and experimental results show good agreement.

Bandwidth Enhancement and Size Reduction of Microstrip Patch Antenna by Magnetoinductive Waveguide Loading

A planar magnetoinductive (MI) waveguide loaded rectangular microstrip patch antenna is presented and discussed. The MI waveguide consists of two planar metamaterial split squared ring resonators (SSRRs) placed in between two microstrip lines. The backward wave propagation takes place through this structure. The rectangular microstrip patch antenna is magnetically coupled to the MI waveguide. T...

Magnetoinductive lenses for reduction of correlated noise in parallel magnetic resonance imaging

In this work, it is shown the application of split-ring magnetoinductive (MI) lenses in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MI lenses provide high localization of MRI coil sensitivities and higher signal-to-noise-ratio in comparison with split-ring μ = −1 lenses. This conclusion is supported by both numerical and experimental results.

Effective-index method and coupled-mode theory for almost-periodic waveguide gratings: a comparison.

Contradirectional propagation through active, first-order, almost-periodic, corrugated waveguide gratings is analyzed by using both coupled-mode theory and a combined effective-index/impedance-matching matrix technique. For TE-mode operation, which is near the first-order Bragg wavelength, the equivalence of the two techniques is analytically demonstrated for shallow surface corrugations.

Magnetoinductive waves in arrays of split-ring resonators

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 limitatio...

On the attenuation coefficient of monomode periodic waveguides

It is widely accepted that, on ensemble average, the transmission T of guided modes decays exponentially with the waveguide length L due to small imperfections, leading to the important figure of merit defined as the attenuation−rate coefficient α = −/L. In this letter, we evidence that the exponential−damping law is not valid in general for periodic monomode waveguides, especially as th...
