ABSTRACT:
If electromagnetic theory is 'science' then circuit theory is 'engineering'. One can appreciate how Ohm's circuital law follows from Ohm's electromagnetic law and Joule's loss of circuit theory from the concept of Poynting vector. Moreover, it is exciting to see that the dispersion relation of a hollow-pipe waveguide, that supports electromagnetic waves of RF phase velocity greater than the speed of light, can be derived not only by the electromagnetic theory but also by the circuit theory. Similarly, the dispersion relation of a helix slow-wave structure, used in a TWT that supports electromagnetic waves of RF phase velocity less than the speed of light, can be derived not only by the electromagnetic theory but also by the circuit theory. It turns out that the electromagnetic theory gives the interaction impedance of the structure measuring the RF electric field available for interaction with, say, electrons in a vacuum electron device, which cannot be provided by the circuit theory. On the other hand, the circuit theory has an advantage over the electromagnetic theory in that it uses a less number of boundary conditions at a time to derive a circuit parameter and that it can provide the characteristic impedance of the structure for the design of RF input and output couplers in an electron device.
Special Issue on "Electromagnetic Metasurfaces and Metamaterials: From Design to Applications" is scheduled to be brought out by the open access journal "Materials" - IF:3.748. Researchers working on Metamaterials and Metasurfaces can submit their manuscript for publication. The manuscripts can be submitted till 20th April 2023 for consideration.

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.
