Description
Summary:The development and improvement of the dual-band 802.11ac standard Wi-Fi and wide bandwidth satellite communication devices are currently research subjects that have garnered significant interest. In this paper, double C-shaped two split-ring resonator (SRR) bounded unit cells were developed, which are applicable for S, C, and X band applications, including dual-band Wi-Fi communication devices and satellite communication applications for its effective medium ratio (EMR) of 15.6, which results in a 2.4 GHz resonance frequency and wide bandwidth (S21 < −10 dB) of 1650 MHz at an 11.5 GHz resonance frequency. A copper resonator and the popular substrate material Rogers RT 5880 (thickness of 1.575 mm) were adopted for analyzing the characteristics of this unit cell. The <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>8</mn><mo>×</mo><mn>8</mn><mo> </mo><msup><mrow><mi>mm</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> structure was designed and simulated using a commercially available electromagnetic simulator CST (Computer Simulation Technology) Studio Suite 2019, which was utilized at four resonance frequencies: 2.4 GHz, 5.6 GHz, 8.93 GHz, and 11.5 GHz. The electric field, magnetic field, and surface current distribution were examined by modifying the metamaterial unit cell design structure, showing effective results. To confirm the CST simulation results, the newly designed double C-shaped double-negative metamaterial (DNG) was also simulated with the Ansys High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) and compared with the extracted results. The suggested metamaterial is advised for usage in Wi-Fi and satellite communication applications for superior long-distance communication performance and efficiency with the compactness of the structure.
