description | In this paper, the design of a double-band terahertz metamaterial filter with broadband characteristics using a single conducting layer is presented. The design uses a structured top metallic layer over a polyimide material. The proposed design has achieved broadband band-pass transmission characteristics at the resonances of 0.5 THz and 1.65 THz, respectively. The 3-dB bandwidths for these two resonances are 350 GHz and 700 GHz, respectively, which indicates that dual-band resonance with broadband transmission characteristics was obtained. The design has achieved the same transmission characteristics for two different orthogonal polarizations, which was confirmed using numerical simulation. The design was tested for a different angle of incidences and it was observed that this results in angle-independent transmission behavior. In addition, for obtaining tunable resonant behavior, the top conductor layer was replaced by graphene material and a silicon substrate was added below the polymer layer. By varying the Fermi level of graphene, modulation in amplitude and phase was observed in numerical simulation. The physical mechanism of double-band behavior was further confirmed by surface current distribution. The proposed design is simple to fabricate, compact, i.e., the size is λ(0)/8, and obtained dual-band/broadband operation. |
