  • Numerical and experimental characterization of transmission properties for individual MSSRR unit cells.
  • Construction and analysis of 2x2 homogeneous and 2x2/3x2 inhomogeneous arrays of MSSRR cells.

    • Main Results:

    • Additional micro-splits significantly increase resonance frequency due to series capacitance.
    • Homogeneous MSSRR arrays exhibit single-band operation.
    • Inhomogeneous MSSRR arrays demonstrate two to three distinct frequency bands of operation.

    Conclusions:

    • Inhomogeneous arrays of MSSRR structures are effective for achieving multi-band metamaterial operation.
    • The number of micro-splits can be dynamically controlled (e.g., via RF MEMS switches) to tune operating frequencies.
    • This research provides a foundation for developing tunable multi-band metamaterials for diverse applications.
