  • First Online:
Active Metamaterials

Abstract

The primary purpose of this text is to provide analytic and experimental methods to design planar metamaterial based wave modulators for terahertz frequencies, especially for communication and imaging applications. This chapter provides the motivation for the reader by answering two basic questions: why terahertz frequencies and why design metamaterials for that frequency regime.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Some define THz to be the submillimeter-wave energy that fills the wavelength range between 1 and 0.1 mm (300 GHz–3 THz) [1].

  2. 2.

    Original Russian version was published in 1967.
