The first general textbook to offer a complete overview of
metamaterial theory and its microwave applications
Metamaterials with Negative Parameters represents the
only unified treatment of metamaterials available in one convenient
book. Devoted mainly to metamaterials that can be characterized by
a negative effective permittivity and/or permeability, the book
includes a wide overview of the most important topics, scientific
fundamentals, and technical applications of metamaterials.
Chapter coverage includes: the electrodynamics of left-handed
media, synthesis of bulk metamaterials, synthesis of metamaterials
in planar technology, microwave applications of metamaterial
concepts, and advanced and related topics, including SRR- and
CSRR-based admittance surfaces, magneto- and electro-inductive
waves, and sub-diffraction imaging devices. A list of problems and
references is included at the end of each chapter, and a
bibliography offers a complete, up-to-daterepresentation of the
current state of the art in metamaterials.
Geared toward students and professionals alike, Metamaterials
with Negative Parameters is an ideal textbook for postgraduate
courses and also serves as a valuable introductory reference for
scientists and RF/microwave engineers.
