Abstract
The microwave transmission of hexagonal arrays consisting of patches of equilateral aluminium triangles has been experimentally studied as a function of metal occupancy (triangle size). As one would expect, at low frequencies the microwave transmission drops on passing through the connectivity threshold (50%) when the disconnected hexagonal array of metal triangles switches to a disconnected hexagonal array of equilateral holes. However, for higher frequencies resonant phenomena cause a complete reversal in this behaviour such that the transmission, on passing through the connectivity threshold, increases substantially.
