This OISRR behaves as a shunt series L  C resonant circuit and allows a parallel connection with a microstrip line. This cell presents half the resonant frequency of the split ring resonator (SRR) and, therefore, is electrically very small. The measured results show a 3 dB stop-band bandwidth lower than 2 % with more than 10 dB insertion loss in the stop band. This OISRR can be useful in microwave communication systems %K Stop band %K Equivalent circuit model %K Main frequency %K Microstrip line %K Effective permittivity %K Electrónica %K 2202.10 Radioondas y Microondas %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
