"While much metamaterial research has concentrated on the exotic physical properties of metamaterial structures and their potential applications, there has been little reported on the usefulness of these metamaterial structures in actual applications, for example, in communications systems. Moreover, since many metamaterials are designed for operation at very specific frequencies, there are reasonable concerns for how they will act when they are applied to high-data-rate systems," researchers in the United States report.
"This paper takes a zero-n grid structure that has been shown previously to produce high directivity in the microwave regime, and demonstrates ...
