Use of the Microwave/EM Teaching Lab (ECEE 254)
The lab in room ECEE 254 is
not an open
lab, in contrast with many other labs in the Department. Students
wanting access to this lab at other than scheduled class times must see
me for permission. Please read and understand the
RF/Microwave Lab Rules before requesting this
permission; I will ask you some questions about lab procedures before I
authorize your access.
EM Group Publications

Historical Papers Related to
Metamaterials
Here are some papers which appeared long before the advent of
artificial dielectrics, bandgap materials or metamaterials. In some
cases they have been translated into English to make them accessible to
a wider audience. I will add to these as time permits.
