Physical bounds on metamaterials
Author
Summary, in English
Passivity is used to derive physical bounds on metamaterial devices. The bounds are determined from sum rules or optimization problems involving the stored energy. They typically relate some product between the performance and the bandwidth. The sum rules are computed from the low and/or high frequency response of the system. The corresponding stored energy is determined from a state space representation of the passive system. An overview of physical bounds for metamaterial applications such as scattering, antennas, absorbers, high impedance surfaces, and extra ordinary transmission is presented.
