abstract = {In this study we explored the chiral behavior of a honeycomb-like chiral metamaterial with a negative Poisson’s ratio. This type of structure is widely used in sectors such as construction and packaging, but is not as common in electromagnetics/electrical engineering. Moreover, in contrast with typical layer-by-layer chiral metamaterial structures, which are usually formed by metallic patterns with C4 symmetry, this hexachiral structure presents C6 symmetry. The aim of this paper is analyzing the electromagnetic behavior of this kind of auxetic metamaterial with special attention to its chiral behavior. This structure is analyzed by means of measurements and simulations of its reflection and transmission responses (scattering parameters) in different configurations, showing that a dual-layer configuration with conjugated faces provides high electromagnetic activity (gyrotropy) with low losses.},
