Abstract

In this paper, we present a study of tuneable equilateral triangular shaped spilt ring resonator (ETSRR). In this ETSRR we rotate the inner and outer rings by varying the position of the splits in rings. For this we used radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switches. By making MEMS switches ON/OFF, the positions of splits in the rings were varied which can be considered as rotation of rings. As we rotate the inner and outer rings (by varying the position of splits), the configuration is tuned to different frequency from its basic configuration, thus we get tunability.

Key words: Split ring resonator (SRR), metamaterials, equilateral triangle, radio frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) switch.
