Description
This poster presents a novel metamaterial unit cell engineered to resonate at two distinct frequencies: 28 GHz and between 92~100 GHz (W band allocated by ITU-R for future Sub-THz communication). The dual-band operation is achieved by integrating complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) structures, which allow independent tuning of the resonant frequencies. The larger split-ring is optimized for 28 GHz operation, while the smaller one resonates between 92~100 GHz range, enabling a multi-functional response within a single unit cell. This innovative approach allows for compact, high-performance electromagnetic components that operate across widely separated frequency bands. At 28 GHz, it can be utilized in 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks to enhance antenna performance, beamforming, and signal filtering. The 92~100 GHz resonance aligns with the emerging demand for terahertz (THz) communication systems, enabling advancements in 6G networks, high-speed data transmission and super low latency. Additionally, the unit cell's compact and scalable design allows for integration into reconfigurable metasurfaces, frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), and electromagnetic shielding applications. To validate the design, simulations are performed in HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) software using full-wave analysis, demonstrating strong resonance characteristics at both target frequencies. The results indicate that this metamaterial unit cell offers an efficient solution for multi-band applications, reducing component size and complexity while maintaining high performance. Overall, the introduction of this dual-resonant metamaterial unit cell paves the way for innovative solutions in next-generation high-frequency technologies, driving advancements across multiple industries.
