Demonstration and Modeling of Material Responses Achieved Through Contradirectional Coupling; Final rept. Jan-Dec 2007

摘要

This report describes the development of broadband and reduced-loss negative permeability and negative refractive index metamaterials at microwave frequencies. The reported structures exhibit fractional bandwidths that are greater than 40%. Simulation and experimental results are described which confirm the electromagnetic properties of the proposed structures. Analytical modeling of the proposed structures is also discussed.
