METAMATERIALS

An addition to the “Wiley Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering,” the 333-page book Metamaterials with Negative Parameters: Theory, Design, and Microwave Applications is devoted mainly to metamaterials that can be characterized by a negative effect permittivity and/or permeability. Chapters cover 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 magneto- and electro-inductive waves, and subdiffraction imaging devices. Suitable as a textbook for postgraduate courses and as a resource for scientists and engineers, the book includes problems and references at the end of each chapter.
