Abstract
For THz sensing systems, reconfigurable metasurface is a key issue for obtaining miniaturized, fast and cheap spectral scanning systems in the THz domain. This paper presents the manufacturing and char-acterization of flexible elastomer, PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-based THz metasurfaces. Numerical models were applied to analyze the system THz properties. Measurements proved the usability of pro-posed flexible THz sensors. For a 25% deformation, a decrease of resonant frequency by 8% (~ 20 GHz) was obtained.
