Outline of Final Research Achievements

Potentials of periodic metamaterials and their microwave applications are explored. Based on the CRLH theory, novel concepts for microwave metamaterials designs and implementations are presented. Simulation and evaluation techniques for periodic metamaterials are also newly developed. Possible microwave applications for devices, circuits, and antennas are presented in microwave frequency regions. In addition, the concepts are exported to Terahertz and optical wave regions.
