Metamaterial-Engineered Electrically Small Radiators
and Scatterers


Goals

We are studying how metamaterials, in particular how metamaterials that have single and double negative properties can be combined with double positive materials to achieve electrically small resonators, which in turn can lead to electrically small radiators that produce large fields and scatterers that have nearly unity cross sections.
