چکیده

In this study, two independent methods to extract the constitutive parameters of large-scale (more than a wavelength long) metamaterial (MTM) structures are described. One method is based on fitting the simulated inner electric/magnetic field to the electric/magnetic field computed with an analytical model, whereas the other method is based on the scattering matrix parameters. The extraction methods are tested on three MTM structures [two single negative and one double negative (DNG)] and show results that are in good agreement. The extracted parameters were used to predict a focusing effect in a simulated spherical concave lens made of DNG MTM. The three MTM structures were experimentally measured for insertion loss in an anechoic chamber. For practical reasons, the experimental models were fabricated on Duroid substrates and scaled to operate in X-band. Detailed explanation of the construction of the MTMs and the anechoic chamber measurement setup is given. The transmission characteristics were measured at different frequencies and at different incident angles. The measured and simulated results are found to be in good agreement. In the DNG MTM, a peak transmission of 20.7 dB was measured, which to these authors’ knowledge is the highest reported to date for such an MTM structure. Good transmission is maintained for incident angles of up to 458 from boresight.

Effects of parameter variations on negative effective constitutive parameters of non-metallic metamaterials

Analytical expressions describing the variability of effective constitutive parameters of non-metallic metamaterials, as a function of the constituent geometric and material parameters and their variations, have been developed from the total differential of Clausius-Mossotti expressions (using Mie dipole polarizabilities) for the effective (bulk) constitutive parameters of the metamaterial. In ...

Design Optimization and Construction of Double-Sided Linear Induction Motor

Linear induction motors have single and double-sided structures which are used in special applications, according to their advantages and disadvantages. Due to advantages such as lack of normal forces in double-sided type, these motors are more controllable and popular than the single-sided type, especially for transportation applications.  In literature, single-sided linear induction motors ha...

Chiral metamaterials: retrieval of the effective parameters with and without substrate.

After the prediction that strong enough optical activity may result in negative refraction and negative reflection, more and more artificial chiral metamaterials were designed and fabricated at difference frequency ranges from microwaves to optical waves. Therefore, a simple and robust method to retrieve the effective constitutive parameters for chiral metamaterials is urgently needed. Here, we...
