Toward creating wide-band uniaxial left-handed materials with small losses
Abstract
Description
In this work a possible realizations of a uniaxial variant of left-handed material (LHM) at microwaves is considered. The meta-material has some features of the known structure studied by the group of D. Smith in 2001, however in the present structure a lattice of parallel wires and a lattice of artificial magnetic resonators (MRs) are unified and the MRs are not split-ring resonators. The optimizing of MRs allows significantly decrease the magnetic losses and broaden the band within which the meta-material becomes a LHM.
