Abstract

In this paper, we showed that split-ring resonator (SRR) pairs can be used as broadband planar left-handed metamaterials (LHMs). Simulations were carried out for one layer of infinite LHM slab using SRR pairs. The results showed that by carefully adjusting dimensions of the SRR pairs, magnetic and electric resonances can be coexistent at some frequency ranges and in the frequency range where there are both negative magnetic and electric responses, there is a broad LH band. Equivalent circuits for the magnetic and electric resonance were offered to give a qualitative and quantitative explanation of the LH behaviors of LHMs using SRR pairs.
