Abstract :
THz biosensors are used to detect the presence of materials in Biomedical Science, especially thin DNA strands, therefore needs considerably high sensitivity. In this paper, we introduce a new structure made up of Metamaterials, which is used for identification of very thin analytes according to their dielectric constants. Procedures for lowering the resonant frequency and increasing the sensitivity of the sensor, simultaneously, are presented. High sensitivity of (Δfr/fr = 2.73% for Δεr = 1), in average, is reported and 10 nm thick DNA (εr = 3.2) was detected due to miniaturization techniques.
