By covering a MAM, saying, carbonyl iron powder coating, with metamaterials composed of split-ring resonators(SRRs) and wires, we show, both by experiments and by simulations, that the maximum reflection loss is increased significantly and the frequency region for absorption is shifted to lower frequency. The frequency region in which the maximum reflection loss is less than -10 dB shifts from 5-7 GHz to 4.2-6.2 GHz for perpendicular polarization electromagnetic waves and to 4-9 GHz for parallel polarization waves. Simulation results reveal that the magnetic resonance obtained by SRRs and the electric resonance obtained by copper wires are the main factors in enhancing and tuning microwave absorption properties.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128013759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This gradient random medium matches the impedance of the air and gradually change its refraction index randomly, creating a puzzle for wave propagation in front of a metal conductor. Thus, such type of coating is expected to diffuse the reflection waves from a conductor metal. The implementation of such device needs, in our experiment, more than 30,000 different unit cells. Obviously, such large scale design and fabrication mask generation have been out of the scope of traditional manual production. We propose an automatical metamaterial design system, which made the implementation of gradient random medium possible and provide the technique of large scale metamaterial unit-cell design. The design is verified by the 2D near field scanning mapper measurement and the angular measurement. The measurement results show that the designed sample works well as we expected.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also the temperature distribution is derived through bio-heat equation (BHE), which has been solved by finite differential approach. Due to the admiring focusing properties of LHM lens, the temperature inside the tumor may rise from 37degC to more than 42.65degC during one hour with average input power density of 1.60 W/cm at 6 GHz, while the temperature of normal tissue keeps well below 42degC as the requirement of hyperthermia.","PeriodicalId":345360,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Workshop on Metamaterials","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128951555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
