A Symmetrical Circuit Model Describing All Kinds of Circuit Metamaterials

Abstract

Abstract-We present a generally symmetrical circuit model to describe all kinds of metamaterials with effective permittivity and permeability. The model is composed of periodic structures whose unit cell is a general T-type circuit. Using the effective medium theory, we derive analytical formulations for the effective permittivity and effective permeability of the circuit model, which are quite different from the published formulas [1,2]. Rigorous study shows that such a generally symmetrical model can represent right-handed materials, left-handed materials, pure electric plasmas, pure magnetic plasmas, electric-type and magnetic-type crystal bandgap materials at different frequency regimes, with corresponding effective medium parameters. Circuit simulations of real periodic structures and theoretical results of effective medium models in this paper and in [1] and [2] are presented.The comparison of such results shows that the proposed medium model is much more accurate than the published medium model [1,2] in the whole frequency band.

Peak SAR Reduction using Metamaterial Structure

“…These phones send their signals using very small surges of high-frequency EM waves, or microwaves, favored over most over the air telecommunication systems. The fundamental safety limits for the radio-frequency (RF) revelation are defined in terms of the immersed power per unit mass, which is expressed by the specific absorption rate (SAR) in watts per kilogram (W/kg) [1]. These protection guidelines are set in terms of the utmost mass-normalized rates of the electromagnetic energy deposition (SARs) for 1 g or 10 g of tissue.…”

Efficient Electrically Small Prolate Spheroidal Antennas Coated With a Shell of Double-Negative Metamaterials

“…However, with the development of new materials, such as MTMs, there is a new challenging opportunity to solve this limitation. MTMs are artificial constructed materials which are engineered media having qualitatively new response functions that do not occur or may not be easily available in nature [7], which have gained increasing interest [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Efficient electrically small antennas have been constructed by coating a DNG or epsilon-negative (ENG) MTMs shell [8,9], which have both large overall efficiency and large FBW.…”

Retrieving the Green's Function From Cross Correlation in a Bianisotropic Medium

“…It is lossless when {ε} = 0, {μ} = 0 andχ = 0. Optical activity or left-and right-handedness in general fall under this category and media with such properties are also engineered to make negative refractive index materials [27]. A non-reciprocal medium is characterized byχ =χ T andκ = −κ T .…”

“…An early example is the dual polarized ring laser [23] that can be used in downhole formation testing for oil exploration. Bianisotropic media are of growing importance in the fabrication of metamaterials [24] that can be used in transmission lines and waveguide structures [25,26], circuits [27], absorbers [28] and in multi-band patch antennas [29]. Also macroscopically chiral media have been designed [30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”
