Refractive index reconfigurable metamaterial structure at 28 GHz frequency range

In this paper, a new refractive index reconfigurable metamaterial structure at millimeter wave (MMW) frequency range has been designed and simulated for beam switching in a future fifth-generation (5G) mobile network applications. The new proposed structure is composed of a Ladder shaped resonator (...
