We shall report an experimental and theoretical study of periodic structures consisting of familiar metamaterial elements with a view to sensor applications. In the measurements one, two- and three-dimensional arrays of resonant elements are employed. The mechanism under investigation is the guiding, channelling, splitting and recombination of signals across (or along) perodic structures whose dimensionas are small relative to, or of the order of a wavelength. We shall present experimental and theoretical results on a variety of sensing systems in which the HF magnetic field plays a dominant role with potential applications in imaging, in the automotive industry and in antennas.
