META MATERIALS INTEGRATION, DETECTION AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS

摘要

A detector and modulator of electromagnetic radiation is 3-dimensional structure made of substantially 2 dimensional high impedance metamaterial surfaces stacked one above the other with a dielectric layer in between and located above a conducting ground plane. Each 2 dimension surface may be formed by an open continuous conductive trace, such as metallic wire or a printed circuit line, which is cast or plated on or into a 2-D periodic arrangement of an element that belongs to the Hilbert space filling curves.
