A metamolecule antenna for coplanar waveguides
A metamolecule antenna for coplanar waveguides
We report on a metamolecule antenna, based on a fish-scale design but augmented with two split-ring resonators (SRRs) placed within the fish-scale loops. The properties of the antenna resonator, with and without additional SRRs, were examined using finite element method simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics). The simulation findings were subsequently confirmed experimentally, using a vector network analyser coupled to an antenna-loaded coplanar waveguide (CPW). The addition of SRRs to the fish-scale meta-molecule leads to a demonstrably large increase in microwave-absorption. It is shown that the fish-scale/SRR/CPW combination performs as a microwave antenna. Simulations of the antenna gain and far-field emission are presented and discussed.

Abstract
We report on a metamolecule antenna, based on a fish-scale design but augmented with two split-ring resonators (SRRs) placed within the fish-scale loops. The properties of the antenna resonator, with and without additional SRRs, were examined using finite element method simulations (COMSOL Multiphysics). The simulation findings were subsequently confirmed experimentally, using a vector network analyser coupled to an antenna-loaded coplanar waveguide (CPW). The addition of SRRs to the fish-scale meta-molecule leads to a demonstrably large increase in microwave-absorption. It is shown that the fish-scale/SRR/CPW combination performs as a microwave antenna. Simulations of the antenna gain and far-field emission are presented and discussed.
