CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 definition and concept of AIS:- The term "Artificial Impedance Surfaces" (AIS) refers

to engineered surfaces designed to control the impedance boundary conditions of

electromagnetic waves. These surfaces are constructed using metamaterials or metasurfaces,

which are artificial structures engineered to exhibit unique electromagnetic properties not

found in naturally occurring materials.

At its core, the concept of AIS is based on the manipulation of electromagnetic waves at

interfaces between different media. When an electromagnetic wave encounters a surface, it

experiences a change in impedance, which influences its reflection, transmission, and

absorption characteristics. Traditional surfaces, such as conducting or dielectric materials,

exhibit fixed impedance values determined by their intrinsic properties.

In contrast, AIS offer unprecedented control over the impedance boundary conditions by

tailoring the geometrical and electromagnetic properties of the surface structure. By carefully

designing the arrangement, shape, and composition of subwavelength elements on the

surface, engineers can engineer artificial impedance profiles that govern the interaction of

electromagnetic waves with the surface.

The primary goal of AIS is to achieve desired electromagnetic responses, such as reflection

phase control, polarization manipulation, or absorption enhancement, across a wide range of

frequencies. These surfaces can be designed to exhibit anomalous reflection or transmission

properties, enabling functionalities beyond those achievable with conventional materials.

Overall, AIS represent a revolutionary approach to controlling electromagnetic waves at

interfaces, offering versatility, flexibility, and tunability in electromagnetic scattering control,

antenna design, wireless communications, and other applications.

1.2 Motivation for AIS Research:- Traditional materials and techniques for controlling

electromagnetic scattering often exhibit limitations in their effectiveness across different

frequency bands. AIS offer a promising avenue for achieving scattering control over a wide

range of frequencies, from radio frequencies to optical wavelengths, providing a versatile

solution applicable to various applications.

With the increasing demand for compact and integrated electromagnetic devices, there is a

need for lightweight and low-profile solutions for scattering control. AIS offer the potential

for miniaturization and integration into small-scale devices and systems, enabling enhanced

performance without compromising size or weight.

Traditional methods for scattering control, such as using bulky materials or complex

structures, can be costly and challenging to implement, especially over large areas or

volumes. AIS present opportunities for cost-effective and scalable solutions, leveraging

advanced fabrication techniques and materials to achieve desired electromagnetic

responses efficiently.

Scattering control plays a critical role in improving the performance of various

electromagnetics-based systems and technologies. By implementing AIS, engineers can

optimize system performance, enhance signal transmission and reception, and minimize

interference and crosstalk, leading to more reliable and efficient operation.

In military and defense applications, reducing the radar cross-section (RCS) of vehicles,

aircraft, and other platforms is essential for stealth and security. AIS offer the potential to

manipulate electromagnetic waves to minimize detectability by radar systems, enhancing

operational security and survivability in hostile environments. Research in AIS opens up

opportunities to explore and exploit novel electromagnetic phenomena enabled by engineered

structures and materials. By pushing the boundaries of electromagnetics research, AIS

that could lead to breakthroughs in various fields.

1.3 Historical Development of AIS:- In the late 20th century, researchers began

investigating metamaterials, artificial materials engineered to exhibit electromagnetic

properties not found in naturally occurring substances. One of the landmark achievements

was the demonstration of negative refractive index materials by Veselago in 1968, which

paved the way for unconventional electromagnetic phenomena.

In the 2000s, there was a surge of interest in metamaterials at microwave and terahertz

frequencies. Researchers demonstrated various metamaterial structures capable of

manipulating electromagnetic waves, including negative refraction, superlensing, and

cloaking. These developments laid the groundwork for AIS by showcasing the potential for

controlling electromagnetic waves at interfaces.

Around the same time, the concept of metasurfaces emerged, focusing on two-dimensional

arrays of subwavelength scatterers designed to manipulate wavefronts locally. Metasurfaces

offered unprecedented control over phase, amplitude, and polarization of electromagnetic

waves, leading to advances in beam steering, focusing, and polarization control.

As research in metamaterials and metasurfaces progressed, the concept of Artificial

Impedance Surfaces began to take shape. Researchers recognized the potential of engineered

surfaces to control impedance boundary conditions and tailor electromagnetic scattering

responses. Early studies demonstrated the feasibility of using metasurfaces to achieve

anomalous reflection, absorption, and transmission properties, paving the way for AIS

research.

SCATTERING

2.1 Overview of Electromagnetic Scattering Phenomena:- Electromagnetic scattering

refers to the process by which electromagnetic waves interact with objects or surfaces and

deviate from their original path due to reflection, refraction, diffraction, and absorption.

It begins with an incident electromagnetic wave, which can be generated by various sources

such as antennas, radar systems, or natural sources like the Sun. This wave carries energy and

travels through space until it encounters an obstacle or boundary.

When the incident wave encounters an object or surface, it interacts with the material

properties of the object. The electromagnetic fields induce currents and charges within the

object, leading to scattering phenomena.

Electromagnetic scattering can be categorized into several types based on the size of the

object relative to the wavelength of the incident wave.

Understanding electromagnetic scattering phenomena is crucial for a wide range of

applications, including radar systems, remote sensing, wireless communications, and material

characterization. By analyzing scattered signals, researchers can extract valuable information

about the properties of objects and surfaces in the surrounding environment.

By providing an overview of electromagnetic scattering phenomena, readers can grasp the

fundamental principles underlying the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter,

Impedance Surfaces (AIS) revolve around manipulating the impedance boundary conditions

of electromagnetic waves at surfaces to achieve desired electromagnetic responses. Here are

the key principles and theories underlying AIS:

Impedance boundary conditions:- At the interface between two media, electromagnetic

waves experience changes in impedance, which affect their reflection, transmission, and

absorption characteristics. Traditional materials have fixed impedance values determined by

their intrinsic properties. AIS, however, are engineered to exhibit tailored impedance profiles,

enabling precise control over electromagnetic wave interactions at surfaces.

Metamaterials and Metasurfaces:- AIS are constructed using metamaterials or

not found in naturally occurring materials. Metamaterials are three-dimensional structures,

while metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of subwavelength scatterers. These

engineered structures enable unprecedented control over the phase, amplitude, and

polarization of electromagnetic waves, allowing for precise manipulation of impedance

boundary conditions.

Surface wave excitation:- AIS can also exploit surface waves, such as surface plasmon

polaritons (SPPs) or spoof surface plasmons (SSPs), to achieve anomalous reflection or

transmission properties. By properly designing the surface structure and material

composition, AIS can couple incident waves to surface waves, leading to unique scattering

phenomena and enhanced control over electromagnetic wave interactions at the surface .

arranged in periodic or non-periodic patterns on the surface of the AIS. Examples of

subwavelength elements include meta-atoms, metamolecules, resonators, or other structures

designed to interact with incident electromagnetic waves and control their behavior.

Geometry and Arrangement:- The geometry and arrangement of subwavelength elements

determine the overall electromagnetic properties of the AIS. Various geometries, such as

patches, loops, wires, or split-ring resonators (SRRs), can be employed to achieve specific

scattering control effects. The arrangement of these elements can be periodic, quasi-periodic,

or random, depending on the desired electromagnetic responses and performance

requirements.

governs the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the surface. By tailoring the

impedance profile, engineers can control the reflection, transmission, and absorption

10
characteristics of the AIS. The impedance profile can be designed to be uniform, gradient,

spatially varying, anisotropic, or tunable, depending on the application requirements.

Overall, the key components and design considerations of AIS encompass the selection of

subwavelength elements, geometry and arrangement, material selection, impedance profile,

frequency and polarization characteristics, performance metrics, and fabrication constraints.

By carefully addressing these factors, engineers can design AIS with tailored electromagnetic

responses for a wide range of applications in applied electromagnetics.
