“…However, due to their sub-wavelength dimensions, metamaterial fundamental elements such as split ring resonators (SRRs), have also found applications in the design of compact one-and two-dimensional planar circuits such as filters [4,5,6,7,8,9,10], couplers [11,12,13,14,15], and antennas [16,17,18], or to improve the performance of these components [19,20]. It has been also shown that due to the high quality factor, subwavelength dimensions, and the localized sensitivity of the resonance to the constituent materials and physical dimensions, SRRs can be used in the design of high sensitivity and high resolution sensors [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28], or to enhance the sensitivity of the conventional sensors [29].…”
