Abstract :
High-transmissivity left/right-handed metamaterials were fabricated in a multilayered dielectric/hole metal array technology and experimentally assessed at sub-millimeter wave lengths. From the frequency dependence of the scattering parameters, we show the possibility to close the gap between the left- and right-handed dispersion branches.
