The novel design of a single-sided left-handed metamaterial (LHM) based only on modified circular electric resonators (MCERs) is presented experimentally and numerically in this letter. A capacitive gap is introduced in the middle arm of the electric resonator. Through adjusting the geometrical dimensions properly, the two frequency bands corresponding to negative permittivity and permeability overlap, which is validated by the parametric retrieval algorithm and equivalent circuit analysis. Furthermore, a dual-band LHM is achieved by combining two kinds of MCERs within the same unit cell. Compared to previous composite structures, the MCERs have the advantages of simple pattern, flexible design and fabricating three-dimensional LHMs readily.
