Abstract :
This paper proposes a novel methodology to design and optimize a metamaterial structure for 6 GHz. Current design methods do not take into account the specific effect of each of the factors involved in the design process, the degree that these factors interact with each other, and which ones are not statistically significant and therefore can be eliminated from further analysis. The proposed methodology integrates full wave electromagnetic simulation and statistical tools and is applied for the optimization of a compact 6 GHz metamaterial structure on LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic). The proposed methodology can be easily extended to a large number of design variables and optimized figures of merit
