Research and Markets: New Book Approaches Metamaterials from Physics Principles to Microwave Applications in a Uniform Textbook-like Manner

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82992) has announced the
addition of Metamaterials with Negative Parameters: Theory, Design and
Microwave Applications to their offering.

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.
