Itoh: Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Transmission Line Theory and Microwave Applications (Wiley, New York, 2006). Light waves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation bend whenever they pass from one medium to another. A one-dimensional SQUID array nonlinear transmission line has been used as a parametric amplifier, tunable for microwave signals between 4 and 8 GHz, and providing up to 28 dB of gain. Scott: Active and Nonlinear Wave Propagation in Electronics (Wiley, New York, 1970). Some Some new developments covered in the book include a rapid design method for inhomogeneous metamaterials, microwave and RF applications of metamaterials and dynamic metamaterial systems. Elefteriades and K.G.Balmain, Negative Refraction Metamaterials , Wiley-Interscience (2005). Metamaterials: Theory, Design and Applications focuses on the most recent research activity in metamaterials, taking a reader beyond previously covered areas like left-handed materials (LHM) and negative index materials (LIM). With it users can design and prototype devices for the transmission, guiding, receiving, and filtering/processing of electromagnetic waves in applications where the range of … This S-parameter analysis is ideal for waveguides, antennas, filters, directional couplers, switches, microwave amplifiers, transmission lines, and impedance-matching networks. We then present the unique electromagnetic properties of superconductors and discuss their use in both proposed and demonstrated metamaterial structures. Entitled “Metamaterials: Fundamentals and Applications in the Microwave and Optical Regimes,” the 16-article issue, written by internationally renowned leaders in the field is packed with innovative research reports on While the authors present several new antenna elements of much smaller size, they explain that this was done by exploiting wave slow-down techniques afforded by emulating in-plane anisotropy using simple coupled transmission line concepts. Finally we discuss novel applications enabled by . Components and systems that deal with propagating electromagnetic waves.
