Different Approaches to the Design of Metamaterials

Metamaterials and especially left-handed metamaterials present a new paradigm in modern science, which allows design of novel microwave components with advantageous characteristics and small dimensions. In this paper an overview of different approaches to the design of metamaterials is given, together with several practical realizations of the unit cells.
