One of the most attractive features of LHM is the amplification of evanescent waves. Using such a feature, it has been shown that strong surface waves can be excited near the boundaries of LHM slab with small loss. We investigate the possibility to enhance the resolution of dielectric objects using the LHM slab. The Born approximation has been used to solve the linearized inverse scattering problem. Numerical simulations show that better resolution can be achieved when the LHM slab is involved than those without the LHM slab. The study has demonstrated that the amplification of evanescent waves in the measurement data and inversion algorithm is the main reason for the super resolution","PeriodicalId":6423,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76564719","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}

During the process, one must be careful that the AMC bandwidth (BW) should not stray very much from acceptable limits. The FSS of the finalized AMC structure is a novel SRG that can be considered as a modified version of the well-known Jerusalem Cross (JC-FSS).
