A
broadband ring
resonator (300, 400, 500, 600, 601) including a substrate, a conductive trace on the substrate comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the conductive trace encloses an interior region except for a gap between the first end and the second end, and at least one radial stub (301, 401, 403, 501, 503, 505, 603, 605, 607, 609, 611, 613) integrated into the conductive trace and a method (700) of enhancing a bandwidth of a
split ring resonator including acquiring a substrate, forming a conductive trace on the substrate comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the conductive trace encloses an interior region except for a gap between the first end and the second end, and integrating at least one radial stub (301, 401, 403, 501, 503, 505, 603, 605, 607, 609, 611, 613) into the conductive trace.
