Metamaterials have made a huge splash in antenna, microwave, and optics engineering thanks to their extraordinary electromagnetic properties. And now, modeling their unique characteristics and behaviors in electromagnetic systems just got easier. This one-stop resource gives engineers powerful finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) techniques for modeling these exotic artificial materials, complete with applications and time-saving novel techniques. This comprehensive volume covers a wide range of critical areas, including: Historical reviews of metamaterials; Physics of complex electromagnetic materials; Homogenization of metamaterials and effective medium models; Fundamental limits and figure of merit study of metamaterials; Characterizing the interface of metamaterial slabs and quantifying their spatial and frequency dispersion characteristics; Conformal and dispersive FDTD modeling of electromagnetic cloaks, perfect lens, and plasmonic waveguides; Microfabrication of metamaterials and experimental characterization of metamaterials; A critical look at metamaterial applications in antenna and microwave engineering.
