I. INTRODUCTION

Antennas are gaining attention due to their vitalrole in today’s world of wireless communication systems.There are a lot of techniques have been used by researchersto to enhance the antenna performance parameters. Use ofMetamaterials (structure based materials) in antennas onground, patch or substrate is one of these techniques.

In case of single negative metamaterial,the only permeability (μ) negative materials are known asmu negative (MNG) and only permittivity (ε) negativematerials are epsilon negative (ENG) materials.Metamaterial structure is comprised of SRR and thin wireelements that generates negative permeability and negativepermittivity respectively.

B. Effect of variation in width of rings

The SRR width t is changed by keeping the otherparameters unchanged (s and a) and the correspondingresults are shown in Figure 5. It is observed that theresonant frequency increases as we increase the width ofthe SRR due to the decrease in capacitance between therings.

Figure 5. Transmission coefficient of unit cell for t = 0.6, 0.65, 0.7 mmand a=5mm, s=0.1 mm.

C. Effect of variation in length of Outer ringThe double split ring resonator length “a” is changed bykeeping the other parameters unchanged (s and t). Theresults are shown in Figure 6. On dependence of variousparameters, the resonance associated with the LC-circuitchanges its frequency. Increasing the SRR length leads toan increase in the SRR inductance and hence resonantfrequency get decreased.

IV. CONCLUSION

In this paper, the investigation is done on double ringstructure of square SRR. Nine models are being analysedand frequency comparison is done for calculated andsimulated resonant frequency by varying the geometrydimensions of SRR. The simulated and measuredfrequencies are in very good agreement with each other forevery case when variable a, w and d is varied. Resultsreveal that there is a regular shift in the resonant frequencywhen various parameters of SRR are varied. Hence it isconcluded that desired values of frequencies can beobtained according to particular application by simplyvarying the SRR parameters.
