Abstract

The subject of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation in periodic structures garnered significant attention from applied physicists and engineers, ever since the insightful works carried out by Brillouin almost seven decades back [1]. In fact, it is quite evident that the seeds of the transmission-line-based CRLH (composite right-left handed) metamaterials (a more popular terminology of the twenty-first century) were sown in [1] (see the chapter on “Matrices and the propagation of waves along an electric line” in [1]).
