“…In the last few years, single negative meta-materials (SNM) including epsilon-negative meta-materials (  ＜0,  ＞0) and mu-negative meta-materials (  ＜0,  ＞0), have drawn many people's interests for their extraordinary properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. For sole epsilon-negative meta-materials (ENM) or mu-negative meta-materials (MNM), they just support decaying waves and are opaque since their wavevectors are complex.…”

“…For sole epsilon-negative meta-materials (ENM) or mu-negative meta-materials (MNM), they just support decaying waves and are opaque since their wavevectors are complex. However, some composite structures based on SNM can be transparent to electromagnetic (EM) waves and have many novel properties and important applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. For instance, the waves can tunnel through a heterostructure constructured by ENM and MNM and the image displacement and image reconstruction can be realized by the SNM heterostructure.…”

In order to explore the applications of single negative meta-materials (SNM) in wireless system, the electromagnetic properties of composite structure constructed by the SNM and air are investigated by means of transfer-matrix method. The results show that the tunneling phenomenon will happen in the sandwich structure composed of epsilon-negative meta-materials (ENM), mu-negative meta-materials (MNM) and air under proper parameters. In addition, the electric and magnetic fields are localized at different interface respectively and the electric field is localized at the interface of MNM and air but the magnetic field is at the interface of ENM and air. With these features, the present structure may have important potential applications in wireless transmission.
