Design of a Metamaterial Unit Cell Using an Interdigital Capacitor with Non-Bianisotropic Property

In this paper, we proposed a novel metamaterial unit cell utilizing an interdigital capacitor(IDC) with non-bianisotropic property. Due to the induced magnetic resonance of an IDC unit cell, exotic effective constitutive parameters can be realized like a split ring resonator(SRR). Furthermore, the proposed unit cell is electrically smaller than a conventional SRR unit cell. The effective parameters retrieved from the transmission responses of waveguide measurement method and simulated results show good agreement.
