EM Design and Applications of Metamaterials

Metamaterials are unique materials possessing opposite characteristics to that of13; naturally occurring materials. The negative permittivity and permeability for these materials13; lead to unusual properties of reversal of Snell's law, Doppler effect, Cerenkov radiation etc.13; The current trend is towards applications of these unique materials.13; In this project, a literature survey is carried out from a theoretical perspective and the final13; aim is to implement a design formulation and analyse the performance of a metamaterial13; based aerospace object. Literature survey is mainly based on three broad topics - structure,13; properties and application of metamaterials. A status survey based on the journal papers is13; carried out for this emerging field.13; The design and performance analysis of the layered structures, involving both dielectric and13; metamaterial layers, is presented from the radome perspective.
