Abstract
A tunable left-handed metamaterial consisting of a periodic array of the left-handed dendritic structure units infiltrated with electrorheological fluids is demonstrated. Experimental results show that the passband can move from the original 8.50-10.60 GHz to 7.16-8.39 GHz after electrorheological fluids are infused. When a dc (direct current) electric field of 666 V/mm is applied, the passband moves toward lower frequency of within 7.08-8.30 GHz. This method provides one convenient way to design adaptive metamaterials.
