摘 要:This paper presents a textile-based C-shaped split-ring resonators(SRR)metamaterial(MTM)unit cells with an electrical tunability *** proposed MTM was composed of two symmetrical C-shaped SRR combined with a central diagonal metal bar,whereas the RF varactor diode is placed on the backside of the splitted ground *** behavior of single and array MTM unit cells were analyzed while the achieved negative index physical characteristics were widely *** four different MTM arrays(i.e.,1×1,1×2,2×1,and 2×2)were analyzed in simulation,a 2×2-unit cell array was chosen to fabricate,and it was further undergone experimental *** proposed tunable MTM exhibits double negative(DNG)/left-handed properties with an average bandwidth of more than 2.8 ***,attainable negative permittivity and negative permeability are within 2.66 to 9.59 GHz and within 2.77 to 15 GHz,respectively,at the frequency of interest(between 1 and 15 GHz).Moreover,the proposed tunable MTM also showed tunable transmission coefficient *** proposed electrically tunable textile MTM might function in a dynamic mode,making it suitable for a variety of microwave-wearable applications.A satisfactory agreement between simulations and experiments were achieved,demonstrating that the proposed MTM can operate over a wide bandwidth.
