Contribution to characterization techniques for practical metamaterials and microwave applications

Metamaterials (MTMs) are broadly defined as artificial composite materials specifically engineered to produce desired unusual electromagnetic properties not readily available in nature. The most interesting unusual property achievable with MTMs is probably ...

Integral-equation analysis of 3-D metallic objects arranged in 2-D lattices using the Ewald transformation

Juan Ramon Mosig, Ivica Stevanovic, Frédéric Bongard, Pedro Crespo Valero, Katarina Blagovic

We present a space-domain integral-equation method for the analysis of periodic structures formed by three-dimensional metallic objects arranged in a general skewed two-dimensional lattice. The computation of the space-domain Green's function is accelerate ...

Tunable radiator for small satellite application

Jean-Daniel Landis, Frédéric Bongard, Tomislav Debogovic, Pedro Robustillo Bayon

A tunable radiator for space application has been developed to meet stringent requirements in terms of electrical and environmental specifications but also low mass, simple manufacturing and low cost. The element is based on the folded PIFA antenna, with s ...

Enhanced CRLH transmission line performances using a lattice network unit cell

Juan Ramon Mosig, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Frédéric Bongard

A novel topology for the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is presented. This type of CRLH TLs has the advantage of exhibiting an all-pass behavior and a frequency-independent characteristic impedance, in the so-called balanced case. ...
