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.EnglishPlanarMetamaterialFishnetPolarization independentMicrowaveArticle10.1016/j.photonics.2008.01.0011569-4429
