Electromagnetic metamaterials-from fundamental physics to advancedengineering applications
This book presents an original generalized transmission lineapproach associated with non-resonant structures that exhibitlarger bandwidths, lower loss, and higher design flexibility. It isbased on the novel concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH)transmission line metamaterials (MMs), which has led to thedevelopment of novel guided-wave, radiated-wave, and refracted-wavedevices and structures.
The authors introduced this powerful new concept and are thereforeable to offer readers deep insight into the fundamental physicsneeded to fully grasp the technology. Moreover, they provide a hostof practical engineering applications.
The book begins with an introductory chapter that places resonanttype and transmission line metamaterials in historical perspective.The next six chapters give readers a solid foundation in thefundamentals and practical applications:
* Fundamentals of LH MMs describes the fundamental physics andexotic properties of left-handed metamaterials
* TL Theory of MMs establishes the foundations of CRLH structuresin three progressive steps: ideal transmission line, LC network,and real distributed structure
* Two-Dimensional MMs develops both a transmission matrix methodand a transmission line method to address the problem offinite-size 2D metamaterials excited by arbitrary sources
* Guided-Wave Applications and Radiated-Wave Applications present anumber of groundbreaking applications developed by theauthors
* The Future of MMs sets forth an expert view on future challengesand prospects
This engineering approach to metamaterials paves the way for a newgeneration of microwave and photonic devices and structures. It isrecommended for electrical engineers, as well as physicists andoptical engineers, with an interest in practical negativerefractive index structures and materials.
