摘要
We present a polarization independent fishnet negative index metamaterial at 40 GHz. The structure is investigated theoretically using finite element. method simulations and experimentally by measuring the amplitude and phase of the S-parameters. The experimental setup for free space measurements of both transmission and reflection is hereby introduced. The internal properties are thereafter retrieved and show the double-negative behavior of the structure. This negative index metamaterial exhibits very high transmission (-0.13 dB), low reflection (-33.1 dB) and a high figure of merit (FOM = vertical bar Re(n)/Im(n)vertical bar = 42), where the real part of the refractive index is nearly -1 (Re(n) = -0.93) at 40 GHz.
