Abstract
In this paper, a new double C-shaped compact structure of metamaterial was designed; fabricated and measured that can operate in a multi-band microwave frequency span. The proposed metamaterial structure offers miniaturization factor compared to traditional metamaterial unit cells and obeys better effective medium ratio. Commercially available computer simulation technology electromagnetic simulator is adopted to investigate the design of the metamaterial. The metamaterial displays multi-band response in conjunction with left handed property over the certain frequency band in the microwave regime. In addition, few parametric studies were done with the metamaterial and the effective medium parameters were analyzed. The dimensions and scattering parameters of the proposed double C-shaped compact metamaterial are suitable for triple-band applications.
