@article{10902/18319, year = {2019}, month = {10}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/18319}, abstract = {Negative refraction has many potential applications in the information and communications technology field. However, the high losses of most negative refraction materials prevent the use of this novel property in the implementation of practical devices in the HF range. In an attempt to overcome this inconvenience, we present two gammadion-fishnet chiral metamaterial structures, constituted by the combination of a lossy chiral metamaterial and different fishnet structures. The electromagnetic characterization of the proposed metamaterials provides a larger bandwidth with negative refraction as well as lower losses when compared with the initial structures. The results were obtained by using both numerical and experimental data, which support our designs.}, organization = {This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Government MINECO through the ERDF co-funded Research Projects TEC2014-55463-C3-1-P and TEC2014-55463-C3-3-P, PGC2018-098350-B-C21 and PGC2018-098350-B-C22.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2019, 18(10), 2041-2045}, title = {Low-loss left-handed gammadion-fishnet chiral metamaterials}, author = {Fernández Fernández, Óscar and Gómez Gómez, Álvaro and Vegas García, Ángel and Molina Cuberos, Gregorio José and García Collado, Ángel Joaquín}, }
