Metamaterials have attracted enormous interests from both physics and engineering communities in the past 20 years, owing to their powerful ability in manipulating electromagnetic waves. However, the functionalities of traditional metamaterials are fixed at the time of fabrication. To control the EM waves dynamically, active components are introduced to the meta-atoms, yielding active metamaterials. Recently, a special kind of active metamaterials, digital coding and programmable metamater...

Intelligent electromagnetic (EM) sensing is a powerful contactless examination tool in science, engineering and military, enabling us to 'see' and 'understand' visually invisible targets. Using intelligence, the sensor can organize by itself the task-oriented sensing pipeline (data acquisition plus processing) without human intervention. Intelligent metasurface sensors, synergizing ultrathin artificial materials (AMs) for flexible wave manipulation and artificial intelligences (AIs) for po...

Metamaterials: Beyond Crystals, Noncrystals, and Quasicrystals is a comprehensive and updated research monograph that focuses on recent advances in metamaterials based on the effective medium theory in microwave frequencies. Most of these procedures were conducted in the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves, Southeast University, China.The book conveys the essential concept of metamaterials from the microcosmic structure to the macroscopic electromagnetic prope...

The subject of this book is the fast-developing area of research known as metamaterials/metasurfaces and some of their engineering applications. This book comprehensively presents the state of the art of metamaterials/metasurfaces from theory to applications. The theoretical side includes electrodynamics of left-handed medium, generalized Snell's law, digital coding metamaterials/metasurfaces, group theory of metamaterials, information metamaterials and metasurfaces, etc. On the applicatio...
