Abstract
We experimentally verify that a flat metamaterial lens formed by nonconnected crossed metallic wires enables the partial focusing of electromagnetic waves, as a consequence of the phenomenon of all-angle broadband negative refraction in such media. We prove that the strength of the negative refraction effect can be controlled by adjusting the angle between the crossed wires.
