Abstract

In this presentation we will review our recent activity related to the dynamic reconfiguration of periodic structures and their application. Different reconfigurable periodic 'meta' transmission lines, reconfigurable uniform and a-periodic metasurfaces, will be discussed together with their applications. The proposed concepts are implemented at various frequencies from microwave to terahertz, using different technologies including semiconductors diodes, metal MicroElectroMechanical systems ( metalMEMS), Graphene, and dielectric electro- active polymers (DEAP).

Metamaterial

A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond" or "after", and the Latin word materia, meaning "matter" or "material") is any material engineered to have a property that is rarely observed in naturally occurring materials. They are made from assemblies of multiple elements fashioned from composite materials such as metals and plastics. These materials are usually arranged in repeating patterns, at scales that are smaller than the wavelengths of the phenomena they influence.

Nanoelectronics

Nanoelectronics refers to the use of nanotechnology in electronic components. The term covers a diverse set of devices and materials, with the common characteristic that they are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be studied extensively. Some of these candidates include: hybrid molecular/semiconductor electronics, one-dimensional nanotubes/nanowires (e.g. silicon nanowires or carbon nanotubes) or advanced molecular electronics.

Electric power transmission

Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is part of electricity delivery, known as the electrical grid.
