Investigations of a Wideband Metamaterial-based Microstrip Meander Line with Slotted Screen

Abstract

A construction of an extra wideband frequency-selective surface, formed by a microstrip meander line with slotted screen is described. The measurements of the structure band gap, which covers L1, L2, L3 and L5 bands, are presented. The permittivity and permeability calculation results, which show that the parameters have negative values in the band gap, what proves that the proposed structure is a double negative metamaterial, are shown.
