Abstract

The rigorous modeling and analysis of electromagnetic wave transformation and radiation from the periodic boundary of metamaterial are presented. The nature of the phenomenon of resonant radiation and the influence of various parameters on it are investigated. The study is carried out with the objective of potential applications to antenna design. Simulated results show that very high directivity can be obtained and that beam steering can be achieved by adjusting proper parameters.
