Short Abstract:
In the last decades, electromagnetic metamaterials and metasurfaces have raised a huge amount of interest both in academic and industrial environments. The possibility to achieve unnatural and exotic properties confers to these solutions an unprecedented capability to shape, control and exploit the electromagnetic radiation for advanced applications. In the last years, the use of electromagnetic metamaterials and metasurfaces have been diffused also in 4.0 industry, increasing the diffusion and the development of innovative devices, sensors and productive processes.
The first part of the course will be directed to present the general theoretical aspects and modelization of metamaterials and metasurfaces, with a particular emphasis on the transversality among the different sectors where they found application. In the second part, practical test-cases of metasurfaces in advanced scenarios will be reported and discussed, along with design guidelines and tips to correctly dimension these tools. In details, sensing and imaging applications, useful for industrial, telecommunications and biomedical applications, and some examples about electromagnetic field manipulation will be described, as for instance absorption for lowering external disturbances at RF and microwaves, novel sensors and antennas, field filtering capability.
Course Contents in brief:
- Electromagnetic modelization of metamaterials and metasurfaces
- Derivation of practical design guidelines for 4.0 industry applications
- Practical test-case: sensing and imaging for industrial and biomedical applications;
- Practical test-case: radiation absorption/reflection for RF and MW coupling reduction and electromagnetic waves manipulation for stealth applications and next generation networks.
