In this paper it is presented the fabrication of low loss millimeter
wave metamaterials based on patterning on polypropylene substrates by
conventional contact photolitography. We study numerically and
experimentally the transmission and reflection properties of two
dimensional arrays of split ring resonators (SRRs), or metasurfaces, and
their complementary structure (CSRRs) for co- and cross-polarization
excitations up to submillimeter frequencies under normal incidence
conditions. The obtained results suggest the possibility of scaling them at
terahertz frequencies based on this substrate where other lossy substrates
degrade the resonators quality. Left-handed metamaterials derived from
these SRRs and CSRRs metasurfaces could be feasible.
