Due to their special properties, left-handed metamaterials have important potential applications in engineering. When an incident wave propagates through a periodic material with the dimension of its microstructure much smaller than the wavelength, the metamaterial can be regarded as a homogeneous medium, and its effective electromagnetic parameters (permittivity and permeability) in the frequency domain can be obtained with the s-parametersretrieval method. From this perspective, the design of a material with the desired left-handed characteristics becomes possible. By establishing automatic parametric modeling technology, we can study the transmission and reflection properties of left-handed metamaterials with arrays of split-ring resonators. Next, a whole flow chart of design optimization for improving left-handed metamaterial performance is proposed. Finally, the design method is illustrated through a numerical example including the shape and the size design of split-ring resonators to max relative bandwidth, based on parametric analysis of the left-handed relative bandwidths. sequential quadratic programming and enumeration optimization are applied to solve the optimization problem.
