Isotropic Backward Waves Supported by a Spiral Array Metasurface

Abstract A planar metallic metasurface formed of spiral elements is shown to support an isotropic backward wave over a narrow band of microwave frequencies. The magnetic field of this left-handed mode is mapped experimentally using a near-field scanning technique, allowing the anti-parallel group an...

description Abstract A planar metallic metasurface formed of spiral elements is shown to support an isotropic backward wave over a narrow band of microwave frequencies. The magnetic field of this left-handed mode is mapped experimentally using a near-field scanning technique, allowing the anti-parallel group and phase velocities to be directly visualised.
