Metaresonators for Radio-Frequency Applications

The fastly growing era of wireless communication needs compact and high performance electromagnetic devices like antenna filters and sensors. A deep solution is metamaterials. Metamaterials are manmade periodic structures whose properties are controlled by changing the structural parameters. These are not found in nature by which they are termed as 'meta materials'. The applications of metamaterials include antenna radiation performance enhancement miniaturization of microwave passive/active components compact absorbers high impedance surfaces artificial magnetic conductors super lenses cloaking devices etc. The book describes various metamaterial structures their properties design and development of a novel metamaterial structure and its application.The different chapters describes: the fundamental aspects of metamaterials and their radio frequency applications design and development of a metamaterial-inspired planar broadband antenna evaluating the non-resonant application of split-ring resonator design of a novel asymmetric metamaterial resonator and its application as a Complementary Asymmetric Single Split Resonator sensor.
