Abstract

In this chapter, a study of the radiation properties of the SRR and other metamaterial-inspired resonators will be detailed. Due to its uniplanar geometry, which contributed to its widespread diffusion in the metamaterial community, the edge-coupled SRR (EC-SRR) is the topology considered throughout this work. Analytical approach was at the base of the presented results, and provided approximated expressions for the most relevant antenna parameters, such as the input resistance, the radiation efficiency and the cross-polarization of the radiated fields. The results have been validated by comparison with full-wave EM simulations in different cases, obtaining good agreement. The expressions obtained in this chapter are at the base of the antenna designs presented in the next chapter, where experimental data provided additional validation of the analysis exposed below.
