Transmission Line Model of Noise: Application to Negative-index Metamaterials
نویسندگان
چکیده
A direct transmission line model of noise in 1D electromagnetic media is presented, and used to find the emittance and noise factor of a negative index metamaterial based on resonators and rods. The results highlight the poor noise performance of negative index materials based on low-Q magnetic resonators.

Topology and Design of Wide-Band 3D Metamaterials made of Periodically Loaded Transmission Line Arrays
We propose a new topology for realizing artificial microwave materials that exhibit a negative refractive index over a wide frequency band. These metamaterials consist of a threedimensional transmission line mesh that is loaded with reactive series and shunt elements to create negative permittivity and permeability. The cubic-cell transmission line host network is a physical realization of the ...
متن کاملAdvances in Time-Domain Modeling of Periodic Structures for Metamaterial Applications
The recent interest in negative refractive-index (NRI) metamaterials stems from Veselago’s early work predicting media that simultaneously exhibit negative permittivity and negative permeability. Metamaterial structures, such as split-ring resonator and stripwires and planar-loaded transmission line grids, are artificial dielectrics, made of periodically arranged inclusions. Thus, the design of...

The application of the Finite Difference Time Domain technique, equipped with periodic boundary conditions, can lead to the fast full-wave characterization of negative refractive index (NRI) structures. Employing the so-called sine-cosine method, the guiding and radiating properties of the NRI transmission-line medium are determined. Surface wave effects are captured, while the operation of the...
