In this work, we report on a reconfigurable V-band metamaterial fabricated using an InP heterojunction bipolar transistor production process. As designed and fabricated, the implementation uses complementary split ring resonators (cSRRs) and Schottky diodes in both single unit cell and three unit cell monolithic microwave integrated circuits. Each unit cell has two diodes embedded within the gaps of the cSRRs. Reconfigurability is achieved by applying an external bias that turns the diodes on and off, which effectively controls the resonant property of the structure. In order to measure the metamaterial properties, the unit cells are fed and followed by transmission lines. Measured data show good agreement with simulations and demonstrate that the metamaterial structure exhibits resonance at around 65 GHz that can be switched on and off. The three-unit cell transmission line metamaterial shows a deeper resonance and a larger phase change than a single cell, as expected. These are the first reported reconf...
