About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a review of techniques based on waveguide systems, striplines, freespace systems and more, discussing the salient features of each method in detail.

Since metamaterials are typically inhomogeneous and anisotropic, the experimental techniques for electromagnetic (EM) material characterization of metamaterial structures need to tackle several challenges. Furthermore, the modes supported by metamaterial structures are extremely sensitive to external perturbations. As such the measurement fixtures for EM material characterization have to be modified to account for such effects.

The book provides a valuable resource for researchers working in the field of metamaterials

About the Author

Dr Raveendranath U. Nair is currently Senior Principal Scientist and Head at the Centre for Electromagnetics (CEM), CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), Bangalore, India. Dr R U Nair has authored/co-authored over 150 research publications including peer-reviewed journal papers, symposium papers and technical reports. He has co-authored a chapter in a book “Sensors Update” published by Wiley-VCH, Germany, in 2000. The electromagnetic (EM) material characterization techniques developed for his doctoral work were included in the section “Perturbation Theory” in “RF and Microwave Encyclopaedia” (Vol. 4) published by John Wiley & Sons, USA in 2005. Dr. Nair received the CSIR-NAL Excellence in Research Award (2007–2008) for his contributions to the EM design of variable thickness airborne radomes. His research interests include electromagnetic (EM) design and performance analysis of radomes, radar cross-section, frequency selective surfaces (for radomes and radar absorbing structures (RAS)), EM material characterization, complex media electromagnetics and microwave measurements. He took key responsibilities in the setting up of three major national facilities (Adaptive Antenna Facility, Frequency selective surface (FSS) Characterization Facility, and Electromagnetic Materials Applications Facility) at CEM, CSIR-NAL, Bangalore. He is a life member of the Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI), member of the Indian Society for Advancement of Materials and Processing Engineering (ISAMPE) and member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Dr R U Nair is also a Professor in the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), New Delhi.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

Returns accepted if you are not satisfied with the Service or Book.

Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Majestic Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
