Electromagnetic wave absorber is a material that can reduce the energy available in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic wave absorber can be used to reduce interference in wireless communication devices so as not to quickly suffer damage, as a layer in the room free of reflection and to reduce radar cross section of an object detected in radar tracking applications. In this paper, a discussion about the use of the broadside form using the Split Ring Resonator (SRR) method as an absorber of electromagnetic waves and its characteristics in C-Band. Broadside shape is obtained from the initial form of a square which is developed into a square resonator and then given a gap at the end of the resonator. The results show that the SRR broadside form can be used as an absorbent of electromagnetic waves on the C-Band, precisely the frequency of 6.41 GHz with absorption rates reaching 99.99% and bandwidth of 0.077 GHz with dimensions of 7 mm. From the experimental results, it can also be seen that the change in the gap length variable in the SRR broadside shape is the most influential in changing the resonant frequency value and the amount of bandwidth produced.

A complex permittivity characterization method for liquid samples has been proposed. The measurement is carried out based on a self-designed microwave sensor with a split ring resonator (SRR), the unload resonant frequency of which is 5.05 GHz. The liquid samples in capillary are placed in the resonant zone of the fabricated senor for high sensitivity measurement. The frequency shift of 58.7 MHz is achieved when the capillary is filled with ethanol, corresponding a sensitivity of 97.46 MHz/μL. The complex permittivity of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol (IPA) and deionized water at the resonant frequency are measured and calibrated by the first order Debye model. Then, the complex permittivity of different concentrations of aqueous solutions of these materials are measured by using the calibrated sensor system. The results show that the proposed sensor has high sensitivity and accuracy in measuring the complex permittivity of liquid samples with volumes as small as 0.13 μL. It provides a useful reference for the complex permittivity characterization of small amount of liquid chemical samples. In addition, the characterization of an important biological sample (inositol) is carried out by using the proposed sensor.

Modern applications in the realms of wireless communication and mobile broadband Internet increase the demand for compact antennas with well defined directivity. Here, we present an approach for the design and implementation of hybrid antennas consisting of a classic feeding antenna that is near-field-coupled to a subwavelength resonator. In such a combined structure, the composite antenna always radiates at the resonance frequency of the subwavelength oscillator as well as at the resonance frequency of the feeding antenna. While the classic antenna serves as impedance-matched feeding element, the subwavelength resonator induces an additional resonance to the composite antenna. In general, these near-field coupled structures are known for decades and are lately published as near-field resonant parasitic antennas. We describe an antenna design consisting of a high-frequency electric dipole antenna at f d = 25 GHz that couples to a low-frequency subwavelength split-ring resonator, which emits electromagnetic waves at f SRR = 10.41 GHz. The radiating part of the antenna has a size of approximately 3.2 mm × 8 mm × 1 mm and thus is electrically small at this frequency with a product k · a = 0.5 . The input return loss of the antenna was moderate at − 18 dB and it radiated at a spectral bandwidth of 120 MHz. The measured main lobe of the antenna was observed at 60 ∘ with a − 3 dB angular width of 65 ∘ in the E-plane and at 130 ∘ with a − 3 dB angular width of 145 ∘ in the H-plane.

In this paper, the analysis, design, and measurement of a split ring resonator reflectarray is presented. The 6 different designs of reflectarray are simulated to analyze the effect of splits position on resonance frequency. The SRR reflectarray which covered highest frequency bandwidth at Ku-band is fabricated and tested. In the fabrication, FR4 substrate is used. The S-parameter measurements of the fabricated reflectarray are performed by waveguide method. The obtained results have good reflection characteristics for a wide frequency range from 12 GHz to 16.5 GHz in Ku-band. The maximum value of reflection is achieved approximately at 15.3 GHz frequency
