The Nature of Electromagnetic Waves in Metamaterials and Metamaterial-inspired Configurations

Abstract

Metamaterials possessing various peculiar features have recently attracted an increasing amount of attention in the electromagnetics community. Their unexpected properties have opened up a number of different research directions that are geared towards the enhancement of the performance of microwave components, and overcoming current limitations. In this Chapter, the fundamental model properties of metamaterials and metamaterial based structures are demonstrated to study the renovated wave propagation.
