Rapid prototyping of ceramic millimeterwave metamaterials: Simulations and experiments

Rapid prototyping by an extrusion freeforming technique, of ceramic metamaterials based on a woodpile structure at millimeterwave frequencies has been performed. The finite difference time domain technique is applied for the design and characterization of the proposed metamaterials. The transmittance of the millimeterwave metamaterials is measured in the range of 75–110 GHz. Both measurement and simulation results are in good agreement.
