Abstract
A new composite medium based on waveguiding structures loaded with bianisotropic gratings of planar double split rings (PDSRs) and planar helices is considered. The microwave transmission spectra of this medium are studied experimentally. The effective parameters of the medium are determined theoretically, and its passbands are investigated. The characteristics of the medium are compared to those of infinite homogeneous bianisotropic media. A relationship between the spectral transmission characteristics and the type of resonance excitation is established. The transparency bands and overforbidden bands of the composite medium are revealed. The combinations of the medium’s effective parameters that correspond to these bands are determined. It is shown that the transparency bands where the medium is characterized simultaneously by negative permittivity and negative permeability can be identified.
