Abstract
In this article, a survey about ZOR is illustrated and its characteristics are investigated in a detailed manner. The fabrication
process has been presented to focus on the practical limitations of metamaterials. An application based on ZOR like a
notch filter is presented. The notch filter is used in UWB applications. Later, a tunable mechanism based on the nonlinear
dielectric of ferroelectric has been proposed. The model is only simulated and tested with published measured data. All
different configurations were designed with both HFSS and CST, what resolve the electromagnetic fields in all the structure
that is going to be analyzed..
