WP2: Meta components using artificial impedance engineering

This WP draws knowledge and tools developed in WP1 and focuses on development of specific components and their optimization with metamaterial layers. The end result is a series of re-engineered components for use in meta-electronics. Different solutions optimal for different frequency ranges will be pursued. The main targets of this WP are:

1. Develop RF and lower mmWave (<20 GHz) components such as meta-antenna, meta-inductors, meta transmission lines
2. Develop upper mmWave and THz components such as low loss transmission lines, meta-stubs e.t.c.
3. Develop integrated antenna technology for both frequency ranges
4. Engineer meta-layers for parasitic capacitance cancellation, zero delay lines and E/M isolation technology
