For Meta Materials through making, on the one hand the resonant frequency of itself is fixing, on the other hand technique
The reason manufactured makes the resonant frequency of Meta Materials present bigger diversity, as known exactly
The resonant frequency of Meta Materials will bring difficulty to application, and the reinforced effects of Meta Materials will weaken significantly, very
To inoperative.Therefore, the test to meta-material resonant frequency becomes technical problem urgently to be resolved hurrily.
In prior art, the emulation meter to meta-material resonant frequency can be realized by the method for Computer Simulation
Calculate, but, there is problems of, for there is the Meta Materials of complex micro structure array, even if adopting
It is also required to long time with high-performance computer and carries out simulation calculation, simultaneously as the difference of manufacturing process
Other property, there is error with actual meta-material resonant frequency in simulation result.

Meta Materials 9 to be measured is placed between the first resonance device and the second resonance device.
Testing device based on above-mentioned meta-material resonant frequency, the present invention provides following two method of testing.
The flow chart of one of method of testing, referring to accompanying drawing 2, comprises the following steps:
A1. the capacitance regulating the first tunable capacitor and the second tunable capacitor is equal;
B1. regulating the frequency of alternating message source, the signal intensity making signal supervisory instrument detect reaches
The frequency of alternating message source is fixed after big value Vm;
C1. Meta Materials to be measured is placed between the first resonance device and the second resonance device, records now institute
State the signal intensity V that signal supervisory instrument detects;
If d1. signal intensity V is not changed in relative to Vm, then changing the first tunable capacitor and second can
Adjust the capacitance of electric capacity, repeat step a1 to c1, until signal intensity V produces change relative to Vm;
E1. fix the first tunable capacitor and the capacitance of the second tunable capacitor, change alternating message source continuously
Frequency, add the signal intensity V of Meta Materials under record different frequency and not add the signal of Meta Materials strong
Degree V ', obtains the ratio variation relation relative to AC signal source frequency of difference DELTA V and V ',
After find the frequency corresponding to maximum of ratio of difference DELTA V and V ' to be the resonant frequency of Meta Materials.
In this method of testing, step a1 is by regulating the first tunable capacitor and the electric capacity of the second tunable capacitor
It is worth equal, the first resonance device and the second resonance device can be made to have identical resonant frequency, step
In b1, when the signal intensity that signal supervisory instrument detects reaches maximum Vm, illustrate that first resonates
Device and the second resonance device define resonance, and frequency now is i.e. regarded as the first resonance device and
The resonant frequency of two resonance devices, step c1 is put between the first resonance device and the second resonance device
After Meta Materials to be measured, if the resonant frequency of Meta Materials to be measured is just equal to this resonant frequency, just can play increasing
The effect of strong resonance field evanescent wave, the signal intensity that signal supervisory instrument detects will produce change, should
When being understood by, resonant frequency herein refers to strengthen the Frequency point that resonant fields evanescent wave effect is the strongest,
It practice, in the range of a band frequency near meta-material resonant frequency, resonant fields evanescent wave can be strengthened

Last phase etc., it is adjustable that the signal intensity making signal supervisory instrument detect fixes first after reaching maximum Vm
Electric capacity and the capacitance of the second tunable capacitor;
C2. being placed between the first resonance device and the second resonance device by Meta Materials to be measured, tracer signal is examined
Survey the signal intensity V that device detects;
Changing the frequency of alternating message source the most continuously, the signal adding Meta Materials under record different frequency is strong
Degree V and do not add difference DELTA V of signal intensity V ' of Meta Materials, obtains the ratio of difference DELTA V and V '
Relative to the variation relation of AC signal source frequency, it is eventually found the maximum institute of the ratio of Δ V and V '

The emulation resonant frequency of Meta Materials to be measured, by step b2 regulation test device in the first resonance device with
The resonant frequency of the second resonance device is equal to this emulation resonant frequency, then is put by Meta Materials to be measured by c2
Test in test device, in step d2, recorded by the method as one of method of testing
The resonant frequency of Meta Materials to be measured.
This method of testing, owing to first carrying out emulating the calculating of resonant frequency, can record Meta Materials to be measured big in advance
The resonance range caused, relative to one of method of testing more simple and fast.
The most repeatedly testing for reducing, as the optimization means of test, step b2 can be by the following method
Realizing, the flow chart of step b2 is referring to accompanying drawing 4:
The capacitance C that b21 regulates the first tunable capacitor and the second tunable capacitor is equal, continuously adjusts exchange
The frequency of signal source, the signal intensity making signal supervisory instrument detect reaches maximum Vm, records
Frequency f of big alternating message source corresponding for value Vm;
B22 changes described first tunable capacitor and the capacitance C of the second tunable capacitor and keeps first adjustable
The capacitance C of electric capacity and the second tunable capacitor is the most equal, it is thus achieved that the change relative to capacitance C of frequency f
Change relation;
B23 is according to the frequency f variation relation relative to capacitance C, to emulate resonant frequency for frequency f,
The capacitance regulating described first tunable capacitor and the second tunable capacitor is corresponding capacitance C, and regulation is handed over
The frequency of stream signal source is equal to emulation resonant frequency.
In above optimization means, after obtaining the frequency f variation relation relative to capacitance C, it is only necessary to
