Abstract
Recently, an electromagnetic metamaterial was fabricated and demonstrated to exhibit a “left-handed” (LH) propagation band at microwave frequencies. A LH metamaterial is one characterized by material constants—the permeability and permittivity—which are simultaneously negative, a situation never observed in naturally occurring materials or composites. While the presence of the propagation band was shown to be an inherent demonstration of left handedness, actual numerical values for the material constants were not obtained. In the present work, using appropriate averages to define the macroscopic fields, we extract quantitative values for the effective permeability and permittivity from finite-difference simulations using three different approaches.

Broadband carpet cloak consisting of reflectarray with the Ω-shaped elements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a carpet cloaking using wideband reflectarray, which has a simple and very thin structure, so they are especially suitable for cloaking, and demonstrated that it works well in indoor environments.

Dynamic Effective Medium Theory for Two-Dimensional Non-Magnetic Metamaterial Lattices using Multipole Expansion

TL;DR: In this article, a formulation for deriving effective medium properties of infinitely periodic two-dimensional metamaterial lattice structures beyond the static and quasi-static limits is presented, where the polarization currents associated with the supported Bloch modes are expressed via the electric dipole, magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments per unit length.
