Figure 5.

Measured and theoretically calculated nonlinear tuning and hysteresis behavior of the hybrid metamaterial. (a) Measured transmission spectra at different levels of input power near the Fano-like resonance frequency for the ceramic/metal hybrid metamaterial. (b) Measured transmission (in dB) of hybrid metamaterial in the frequency of 8.963 GHz as a function of input power in the range of 6 ∼ 30 dBm: right triangles and left triangles are for forward and backward directions in bidirectional sweep in input power. (c) Simulated spectra of transmission at different input power levels near the Fano-like resonance frequency for the ceramic/metal hybrid metamaterial and the wire-cut structure (red curve). (d) Simulated transmission (in dB) of hybrid metamaterial at frequencies 8.958, 8.960, 8.962, and 8.963 GHz as a function of input power for scenarios of increasing (solid lines) and decreasing (dash lines) input power.
