Abstract

The tunability of an omega–type left handed metamaterial was demonstrated at microwave frequencies via the magnetic control of liquid crystal (LC) orientation. From the experimental and simulation results, it is shown that the left handed pass-band can be tuned by 220 MHz by changing the orientation of LC molecules by 90°. A maximum index variation of 0.25 was obtained in the negative index regime with a measured LC birefringence of 0.05 in the 10 - 12GHz frequency band.

Fig. 1. (a) Schematic of the basic unit cell of the tunable negative index metamaterial as well as the reorientation of the LC molecule in the x-y plane. The geometry dimensions are as follows: R = 0.5, g = 0.4, w =1.0, tteflon = 1.0, tLC = 0.5 (unit: mm). The unit cell is stacked along the x and z directions with periodicities of 10.0 and 6.0 mm, respectively. (b) Close-up view of the mid-plane of the sample with the other part was removed to clarify the configuration of the voids.
