Radial Photonic Crystals for Microwave Operation

Abstract

We analyze the properties of electromagnetic metamaterials with anisotropic constitutive parameters. Particularly, we analyze the so-called Radial Photonic Crystals, which are radially periodic structures verifying the Bloch theorem. This type of crystals can be designed and implemented in acoustics as well as in electromagnetism by using anisotropic metamaterials. They were originally proposed in acoustics, but similar functionalities are here proven in the electromagnetic domain together, for the first time, with an analysis of their behavior operating in the microwave regime. Finally, we present a complete discussion concerning their electromagnetic properties together with a practical design of such a microwave structure.
