Abstract
We numerically and experimentally investigate a planar metamaterial that is composed of connected cut-wire pairs and continuous wires operating at 21 GHz. The characterization was performed by using the effective medium theory. The existence of negative refraction is concluded from the transmission data of four structures: cut-wire pairs, shorted cut-wire pairs, composite metamaterial, and shorted composite metamaterial.
