Herein, we investigate the symmetry-protected toroidal dipole resonances and conditions of their excitation in a new type electromagnetic metamaterials. These metamaterials are all-dielectric planar periodic arrays dielectric disks disposed on substrate. The elementary building blocks array trimers which distributed hexagonal unit supercells. highest geometrical symmetry supercell is C6v. analy...

Within the framework of the development of a wearable communications system for a sportsman, a textile antenna has been realised. The required antenna needed to be low profile, washable, insensitive to the proximity of the human skin and relatively insensitive to deformation. To overcome the human operator coupling effects on the antenna input impedance, i.e. a shift in resonance frequency and ...

This paper describes numerical analyses of the distancedependent gain variation that exists in gain measurements based on the Friis transmission formula for typical broadband antennas, including doubleridged guide horn and log-periodic dipole array antennas. The analyses are performed by simulating gain measurements using the method of moments with higher-order basis functions and the finite in...

The electromagnetic properties of two-dimensional metallic nanostructures in the optical frequency range are studied. One example of such a structure is a periodic array of thin metallic strip pairs. The magnetic response of these structures is studied, as is the closely related emergence of the negative index of refraction propagation bands. The presence of such bands is found to critically de...

An emission frequency selective surface, or eFSS, is made up of a periodic arrangement of resonant antenna structures above a ground plane. By exploiting the coupling and symmetry properties of an eFSS, it is possible to introduce polarization sensitive thermal emission and, subsequently, coherent emission. Two surfaces are considered: a linearly polarized emission surface and a circularly pola...
