There are a number of characteristics that make metamaterial has wide applications and has been researched at present, such as negative phase, negative index of refraction, super resolution, and reverse of Doppler's effects. This paper investigates a hexagonal metamaterial structure with a split and a double concentric rings so-called split ring resonator hexagonal (SRR-H) for frequency filtering application. SRR-H is designed structurally and operated computationally for frequency range of 1 to 120 GHz. The simulation results showed that SRR-H size will affect the resonant frequency significantly. The resonant frequency tends to shift the lower frequency when the size of the structure is enlarged. The properties of the structure SRR-H, such as permeability, permittivity and the refractive index have a similarity because it is dominated by the properties of permeability. Metamaterial SRR-H successfully responded to double negative and agreed with Lorentz's model.
