Artificial metamaterials have made a huge splash in antenna, microwave, and optics engineering thanks to their extraordinary electromagnetic properties. And now, modeling their unique characteristics and behaviors in electromagnetic systems just got easier. This one-stop resource gives engineers powerful finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) techniques for modeling metamaterials, complete with applications and time-saving sample FDTD scripts. This comprehensive volume provides how-to guidance in a wide range of areas that are critical to antenna design, from computing dispersion diagrams and verifying left-handedness… to characterizing the interface of metamaterial slabs. The book also reviewselectromagnetic metamaterial basics and FDTD essentials, providing the foundation needed to fully understand the material. INDICE: Introduction. Fundamentals and Applications of Metamaterials. A Brief Introduction to the FDTD Method for Modeling Metamaterials. FDTD Modeling of EBGs and their Applications. Left-Handed Metamaterials (LHMs) and Their Applications. Numerical Modeling of Left-Handed Material (LHM) using Dispersive FDTD. Accurate FDTD Modeling of A Perfect Lens. Spatially Dispersive FDTD Modeling of Wire Medium. FDTD Modeling of Metamaterials for Optics.
