Metamaterials with Negative Parameters: Theory, Design, and Microwave Applications

Metamaterials with Negative Parameters represents theonly unified treatment of metamaterials available in one convenientbook. Devoted mainly to metamaterials that can be characterized bya negative effective permittivity and/or permeability, the bookincludes a wide overview of the most important topics, scientificfundamentals, and technical applications of metamaterials.

Chapter coverage includes: the electrodynamics of left-handedmedia, synthesis of bulk metamaterials, synthesis of metamaterialsin planar technology, microwave applications of metamaterialconcepts, and advanced and related topics, including SRR- andCSRR-based admittance surfaces, magneto- and electro-inductivewaves, and sub-diffraction imaging devices. A list of problems andreferences is included at the end of each chapter, and abibliography offers a complete, up-to-daterepresentation of thecurrent state of the art in metamaterials.

Geared toward students and professionals alike, Metamaterialswith Negative Parameters is an ideal textbook for postgraduatecourses and also serves as a valuable introductory reference forscientists and RF/microwave engineers.
