Metamaterials with Negative Parameters: Theory, Design and Microwave Applications
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Feb 2008, Pages: 315
This book approaches metamaterials from physics principles to microwave applications in a uniform textbook-like manner. It provides a thorough presentation of the theory, design and applications of metamaterials with an emphasis on split ring resonators (SRRs). The books covers all important microwave applications including filters, multiplexers, couplers, antennas, and devices.
The key virtue of metamaterials is to provide new design guidelines for components and systems that are missed in conventional approaches. The authors' aim in writing this book is to give a complete overview on the present 'state of the art' in metamaterial theory, as well as on the most relevant microwave applications of metamaterial concepts. This book is devoted mainly to those metamaterials than can be characterized by a negative effective permittivity and/or permeability. The first chapter is devoted to the analysis of the electrodynamics of continuous media with simultaneously negative dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability. The second chapter focuses on the design of bulk metamaterials made of systems of individual metallic inclusions with a strong electric and/or magnetic response near its first resonance. Next, the transmission line approach is developed for the design of metamaterials with negative parameters, including both the non-resonant and the resonant-type approaches. This is followed with an analysis of some relevant microwave applications of the concepts developed in the previous chapters. Finally, some related and/or advanced topics, such as meta-surfaces, magneto-inductive waves in metamaterial structures and sub-diffraction imaging devices are developed.
