title: Numerical studies of a low-loss and broad-pass-band single-sided-structure left-handed metamaterial.
abstract: A single-sided structure left-handed metamaterial (LHM), of which the symmetric paired split-ring resonators are connected directly through cut wires, is discussed in this paper. This connected single-sided LHM can exhibit a low loss and broad negative refraction passband. Good agreement of the retrieved result and the simulated result verify the above conclusion by comparison with the in-plane case and the off-plane case [T. Koschny, M. Kafesaki, E. N. Economou, and C. M. Soukoulis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 107402 (2004)].
