Analytical and numerical investigation of the radiation from concentric metamaterial spheres excited by an electric Hertzian dipole

چکیده
[1] The canonical problem of an electric Hertzian dipole radiating in the presence of a pair of concentric double negative metamaterial spheres is investigated analytically and numerically. The spatial distribution of the near field as well as the total radiated power are examined. The results are compared to those for the corresponding structures made of conventional double positive materials. It is shown that electrically small concentric metamaterial spheres can be designed to be resonant and that these resonant designs lead to significant changes in the field radiated by the electric Hertzian dipole and, in particular, to significant enhancements of the total power radiated by it. The impact of the location of the electric Hertzian dipole in both radiating and scattering configurations is studied in detail. Furthermore, the influence of dispersion and loss is investigated. Finally, a few results for larger size metamaterial concentric spheres are given.

Analytical and numerical investigation of the radiation and scattering from concentric metamaterial cylinders excited by an electric line source
[1] An antenna configuration consisting of an arbitrarily located electric line source radiating in the presence of a pair of concentric metamaterial cylinders is investigated analytically and numerically. The nearand far-field properties of these structures are analyzed through an investigation of such parameters as the total radiated power, directivity, and total as well as differential scatt...
متن کاملSub-Wavelength Resonances in Metamaterial-Based Multi-Cylinder Configurations
Sub-wavelength resonances known to exist in isolated metamaterial-based structures of circular cylindrical shape are investigated with the purpose of determining whether the individual resonances are retained when several of such resonant structures are grouped to form a new structure. To this end, structures consisting of 1, 2 and 4 sets of metamaterial-based concentric cylinders excited by an...
متن کاملMicroscopic Parameters in the Excited State of Toluene and Some of Its Haloderavatives
The Ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. The electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. It was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...
متن کاملDipole Excitation of Surface Plasmon on a Conducting Sheet: a Finite Element Study
By using a suitable rescaled form of time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations, we numerically simulate the propagation of a slowly decaying electromagnetic wave, called surface plasmonpolariton, excited along a large conducting sheet, e.g., a single-layer graphene sheet, by an electric Hertzian dipole. For this purpose, we derive a variational formulation that enables a direct numerical treatment of t...
متن کاملRadiation of a Hertzian Dipole in a Conducting Circular Cylinder with Narrow Circumferential Slots
Hertzian dipole radiation from narrow circumferential slots on a conducting circular cylinder is studied. Eigenfunction expansions are used and boundary conditions are enforced to obtain a set of simultaneous equations. A fast convergent series formulation is obtained and numerical results are shown. Our theory provides a viable model for dipole radiation from a circumferential slot array on a ...
