Our recently proposed method enabling a retrieval of coupling coefficients in metamaterials is based on a transformation of the frequency dependence of complex current amplitudes in interacting meta-atoms, enabling separate deduction of the magnetic and electric coupling coefficients. This method relies on our ability to measure separately currents on two interacting elements. However, in case of dense metamaterials fields from the surroundings mask the required signals severely. In this paper we present a novel technique of coupling retrieval for dense metamaterials, in which spurious fields from environment are accounted for by correction factors. The method is verified on a number of examples using both experimental and simulation data in a wide frequency range from MHz to THz. Our method will serve as a basis for design of densely packed metamaterials with strong inter-element coupling.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"283-285"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88046494","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}

Briefly, if a negative resistance is added to a non-Foster reactance, the whole circuit behaves as Thevenin's source (an oscillator) that can be perfectly matched. Such a system delivers maximal power to ordinary passive load (for instance to an antenna), within a very broad (theoretically infinite) bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"133-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84528917","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}

In a unit cell of periodic structure, a uniform mesh is used over a flat surface and the arbitrary periodic surface is modeled by a coordinate transformation. The major advantage of this approach is that arbitrary geometries can be handled by using a single and simple mesh. Therefore, repeated computations (such as in Monte Carlo simulations or optimization methods) corresponding to different geometries can be performed easily. Some numerical examples are demonstrated involving singly periodic structures.","PeriodicalId":6587,"journal":{"name":"2016 10th International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics (METAMATERIALS)","volume":"335 1","pages":"259-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79732823","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}
