At the present time, one of the greatest goals to exploit the advantages of Volumetric Left-handed Metamaterials (LHM) is overcoming their very narrow operational bandwidth. This thesis proposes two schemes to efficiently solve this difficulty: 1) a mechanism which reconfigures, at will, the frequency the LHM operates at, and 2) a novel arrangement of Split Ring Resonators (SRR) based on the Sierpi\u0144ski carpet fractal pattern with two SRR sizes. Reconfigurability is implemented by cutting two splits of different widths in each ring of the SRRs. These SRRs are simulated with switches in the ON and OFF states inside an ideal …
