Abstract

We analyze the time harmonic Maxwell’s equations in a geometry containing perfectly conducting split rings. We derive the homogenization limit in which the typical size η of the rings tends to zero. The split rings act as resonators and the assembly can act, effectively, as a magnetically active material. The frequency dependent effective permeability of the medium can be large and/or negative.
