Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is indispensable for correctly designing metamaterial antennas to develope a powerful electromagnetic simulation method. This research project introduces the finite difference time domain(FDTD) method that maintains a computational accuracy and avoids an excessive load to the computer, developes a electomagnetic simulation method based on the FDTD method for designing metamaterial-based antennas and alos metamaterical-inspired antennas. Other electromagnetic simulation method is also developed for effectively analysing a real environments. Some results developed in this research are included in the book of computational electromagnetics which are written together with a research contributor.
