Abstract

In this paper, the microfluidic switchable absorptive metamaterials (MMs) filter in the gigahertz region is designed. It consists of a microfluidic network between the electrical resonator and the metal plate. The absorption frequency of the tunable MMs absorber can be tuned by pumping different liquids into the microchannel using the microfluidic technology. Based on the designed absorptive MMs, the absorptive peak can be shifted by introducing a microfluidic layer with frequency tunability up to 20% and absorption change up to 90%. By introducing the tunability in absorption frequency of MMs, it has great potential in the applications of filter and sensor / detector for biomedical applications.
