The limiting effects of varying the thickness of a dielectric overlayer on planar double split-ring resonator (SRR) arrays are studied by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Uniform dielectric overlayers from 100 nm to 16 mum thick are deposited onto fixed SRR arrays in order to shift the resonance frequency of the electric response. We discuss the bounds of resonance shifting and emphasize the resulting limitations for SRR-based sensing. These results are presented in the context of typical biosensing situations and are compared to previous work and other existing sensing platforms.

The utilization of microwave radiation has gained increasing importance in various biological applications. However, a significant challenge remains in the interaction between the microwaves and the human skin, primarily due to the impedance mismatch. Recently, the employment of split-ring resonator (SRR) topologies has become increasingly prevalent for addressing such a problem.

This article presents a symmetrical reduced-size eight-element MIMO antenna array with high electromagnetic isolation among radiators. The array utilizes easy-to-build techniques to cover the n77 and n78 new radio (NR) bands. It is based on an octagonal double-negative metamaterial split-ring resonator (SRR), which enables a size reduction of over 50% for the radiators compared to a conventional disc monopole antenna by increasing the slow-wave factor.

- Researchers achieved an ultrahigh Q-factor surface lattice resonance using a U-shaped split ring resonator (U-SRR) array, with remarkable transmission resonance amplitude reaching up to 0.8.* -
- The Q-factor of the SLR exceeded 10 due to two main radiation suppression mechanisms: a conventional dipole moment reduction and excitation of an in-plane quadrupole, both resulting from the unique design of the U-SRR.* -
- This novel ultrahigh Q SLR platform holds potential for creating more flexible and advanced devices at the nanoscale.*

A metamaterial-inspired varactor-tuned antenna with frequency reconfigurability and pattern diversity is designed. Two different versions of a reconfigurable structure are integrated into a single antenna to excite two different orthogonal patterns, which realizes pattern diversity for MIMO applications. The outer annular Composite Right-/Left-Handed Transmission Line (CRLH-TL) works at the 1 mode and provides a broadside pattern, and the inner circular radiator loaded with split ring resonators (SRR) operates at the 0 mode and radiates an omnidirectional pattern, which realizes pattern diversity.

In this article, a miniature eight-port multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array is proposed for fifth-generation (5G) sub-6 GHz handset applications. The individual antenna element comprises a radiator shaped like the Chinese character "" (phonetically represented as "Wang") and three split-ring resonators (SRR) on the metal frame. The size of the individual antenna element is only 6.
