CENTRE FOR MILLIMETER AND MICROWAVE METAMATERIALS

Centre for Millimeter and Microwave Metamaterials, as part of the Advanced Materials cluster under Institute of Eminence, combines the power of Materials Science, Computational Electrodynamics and Additive Manufacturing to develop Electromagnetic metamaterials based components such as Beam Manipulators, Absorbers to fabricate Microwave and Millimeter wave devices for Sensing, Energy Harvesting, Imaging, Non-Destructive Evaluation, EMI Shielding etc.

Microwave and millimeter wave based applications are constrained by:
(a) materials and processing costs,
(b) energy losses during transmission, propagation, and reception
and
(c) bulky components and systems.


Metamaterials and metasurfaces are poised to revolutionize this scenario through their engineered electrical and magnetic responses leading to cost-effectiveness, enhanced performance, and reduced footprint.

Metamaterials are media that produce intriguing electrical and magnetic responses to electromagnetic waves through structurally engineered sub-wavelength features.

Advances in additive manufacturing and novel material synthesis have made it possible to produce complex geometrical structures with prescribed material properties and responses envisaged through computational electromagnetics simulations.
