Electromagnetic metamaterials-from basic physics to complicated engineering applications
This ebook offers an unique generalized transmission line technique linked to non-resonant buildings that show better bandwidths, reduce loss, and better layout flexibility. it really is according to the radical inspiration of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line metamaterials (MMs), which has resulted in the advance of novel guided-wave, radiated-wave, and refracted-wave units and structures.
The authors brought this robust new idea and are for that reason in a position to supply readers deep perception into the elemental physics had to appreciate the know-how. additionally, they supply a number of useful engineering applications.
The ebook starts off with an introductory bankruptcy that areas resonant style and transmission line metamaterials in ancient viewpoint. the subsequent six chapters provide readers a fantastic origin within the basics and useful applications:
* basics of LH MMs describes the basic physics and unique homes of left-handed metamaterials
* TL conception of MMs establishes the rules of CRLH buildings in 3 revolutionary steps: excellent transmission line, LC community, and genuine dispensed structure
* Two-Dimensional MMs develops either a transmission matrix procedure and a transmission line approach to tackle the matter of finite-size 2nd metamaterials fascinated by arbitrary sources
* Guided-Wave functions and Radiated-Wave purposes current a couple of groundbreaking functions constructed by means of the authors
* the way forward for MMs units forth a professional view on destiny demanding situations and prospects
This engineering method of metamaterials paves the best way for a brand new new release of microwave and photonic units and constructions. it's endorsed for electric engineers, in addition to physicists and optical engineers, with an curiosity in functional destructive refractive index constructions and fabrics.
