Abstract:
We present the results of an experimental investigation of the characteristics of 8–12 GHz microwave radiation channeling in a layered medium based on a metamaterial (MM) with variable geometric characteristics, which was arranged in free space and excited iy a waveguide radiator. Data on the interaction between individual layers of the MM were obtained, which allowed us to elucidate the dependence of the electrodynamic characteristics of the MM on its geometric parameters. The principal possibility of controlling the position of the resonance peak of an MM with variable electrodynamic characteristics by changing its geometric parameters is demonstrated for the first time.
