Abstract

According to Smith et.al [1990], a metamaterial composed of thin infinitely long metal rods arranged in a host medium with a periodic fashion exhibits “high pass” behavior. Therefore, it can be predicted from circuit point of view that if infinitely long metal rods are replaced with very short thin metal rods, the resulting medium will exhibit “low pass” behavior. However, if this replacement is done with finite sized metal rods or strips, the resulting medium behavior will be of stop band type because of series inductance (L) – Capacitance (C) resonance phenomenon. In this research, 3D electromagnetic simulation software HFSS was used to model a host dielectric material with thin finite sized metal strips on it to prove the band stop behavior. An experiment was also conducted to demonstrate this band stop or band suppression property. This work was supported by Georgia Space Grant Consortium.
