It is the singly split double ring (SSDR), a special case of the split ring resonator (J. B. Pendry et al., IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech. 47, 2075 (1999)), obtained when the gap capacitance in the inner ring is infinitely large. The variables are the inter-ring voltage and the currents flowing in the inner and outer rings. The excitation is assumed in the form of a spatially constant temporally varying magnetic field. The functions, showing the angular variation of the variables, are found by solving a set of differential equations with boundary conditions imposed at the position of the split. It is shown from the analytical solution that the SSDR can have resonant frequencies in the full spectrum from very low to very high frequencies. It is pointed out in particular that whenever the mean diameter of the ring is equal to an odd multiple of the half wavelength it is always possible to find a set of parameters which will give rise to resonance. As examples the resonant frequencies are determined for eight sets of parameters. Results are also derived by replacing the distributed circuit with a number of discrete circuits. It is finally shown that the results obtained from the equivalent circuit model are in excellent agreement with those derived from the MICRO-STRIPES numerical package which solves Maxwell's equations in the time domain.}, language = {en} }
