Resonant Scattering of Plane Electromagnetic Waves by a Subwavelength Linear Structure of Two Dielectric Rings

The resonant scattering spectra by the main magnetic mode of a subwavelength linear structure consisting of two dielectric flat thin rings located along the wave vector and excited by the displacement currents of the incident plane electromagnetic wave of the microwave range are investigated experimentally and using computer modeling. As distinct from a single ring, splitting of the resonant frequency is observed in the scattering spectra of the magnetic field in the far wave zone, near wave zone, and near the centers of the rings. The measured spectra coincide with the spectra resulting from computer calculations at all measurement points.
