Abstract :
Quasi-3D helix metamaterial is constructed from multilayered 2D spiral structure with capacitive coupling between the adjacent layers. The sample is implemented with PCB, and linearly polarized microwave source is used in the measurement. The polarization plane is rotated to the opposite directions with left- and right-handed samples. The ratio of rotation angles is consistent with theoretical prediction.
