Abstract

In this study, we investigate sub-wavelength transmission through waveguides which includes artificially designed magnetic materials (SSRRs). The changeable transmission properties of waveguides have been observed by loading varicaps to internal/external gap regions and splits between rings on waveguides and then applying different DC bias to provide variable capacity values. Best variation ranges have been obtained for external gap regions down to 1.5 GHz.
