Short wire pairs are simple
metamaterial structures. This structure includes a dielectric substrate with
metal strips on both sides, of which the electric and magnetic resonant
frequencies can be controlled by adjusting the length of the metallic wires. However, to vary the
magnetic resonant frequency requires a change in the length of the strip and
another patterned photomask. In this investigation, a simple method is
introduced that requires only one patterned photomask by shifting the position
of faced wire pairs up and down.
