3D Volumetric Reconfigurable Metamaterials (VRaMM)

NC State University students used a 3D printer to produce a volumetric metamaterial with a dielectric constant of up to 19. The metamaterial is reconfigurable to offer a wide range of permittivity values. The results of this study can now be used to develop a new type of reconfigurable metamaterial for microwave frequencies.

This research investigates volumetric reconfigurable metamaterials for use in microwave frequencies. NC State students used a 3D printer to produce a metamaterial with a dielectric constant of up to 19, which is reconfigurable to offer a wide range of permittivity values. This study has enabled the development of a new type of reconfigurable metamaterial that can be used in microwave frequencies.
