Metamaterial for Planar Antenna

Metamaterials, with their unique ability to control electromagnetic waves, have revolutionized the field of antenna design, enabling performance enhancements that were previously unattainable. This book discusses the integration of metamaterials and metasurfaces with planar antenna covering topics such as gain enhancement, bandwidth improvement, beam-tilting mechanisms, and isolation techniques for modern communication systems. Richly illustrated and meticulously detailed, the book is a good reference for designing industrial applications of 5G wireless communication system using metamaterials and meta surfaces. This well illustrated book will be a useful resource for students, engineers, physicists, and other researchers working in wireless communication, microwave engineering, and electromagnetic design. Newcomers will find foundational knowledge about metamaterials and their applications, while seasoned researchers will benefit from in-depth discussions and innovative approaches to antenna design.
