Hi, my friends,
Just a few days ago, my friend showed me a metamaterial antenna, which is made up of a monopole surrounded by the metamaterial (left-hand material, printed periodic structure). As we know, when the waves come at the metamaterial, it acts like a lens, the waves will be concentrated and the Directivity will be improved (when n==0).
But what will happen if this antenna is a receive antenna. As I see, when the plane wave arrives at the metamaterial, it will not act in the same way as it is the transmit antenna.
If you have insights into this antenna, can you share your experience and tell me whether it conforms to the reciprocity theorem like the ordinary antennas?
Thank you very much
