Special emphasis is given to tunable elements and their advantages in terms of feeding network simplification. Different biasing schemes and feeding network topologies are presented, together with extensive prototype measurements and simulations. The book describes a novel, unique solution for beam steering and beam forming applications, and thus paves the way for the diffusion of new agile communication system components. At the same time, it provides readers with an outstanding and timely review of wave propagation in periodic structures, tunability of metamaterials and the technological constraints that need to be considered in the design of reconfigurable microwave components.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053MicrowavesOptical engineeringNanotechnologyLasersPhotonicsMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019Nanotechnology and Microengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Microwaves.Optical engineering.Nanotechnology.Lasers.Photonics.Microwaves, RF and Optical Engineering.Nanotechnology and Microengineering.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.621.30284Maasch Matthiasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut764139MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254247003321Tunable Microwave Metamaterial Structures1551197UNINA
