Microwave Antennas based on Metamaterials. This project concerns one of the most exciting and dynamic areas of research at present. Metamaterials have tremendous potential, with the promise of multitudinous applications in microwave, optical and optoelectronic fields. This project will contribute towards the ARC priority goal on advanced materials and frontier technologies by (a) developing new synthesized materials which have special properties not found in nature, and (b) developing new techn ....Microwave Antennas based on Metamaterials. This project concerns one of the most exciting and dynamic areas of research at present. Metamaterials have tremendous potential, with the promise of multitudinous applications in microwave, optical and optoelectronic fields. This project will contribute towards the ARC priority goal on advanced materials and frontier technologies by (a) developing new synthesized materials which have special properties not found in nature, and (b) developing new technologies to deliver practical benefits for communication systems users by exploiting these materials. Other benefits for Australia include intellectual property and patent outcomes, which may help Australia to become a leader in metamaterial-based technologies.Read moreRead less
