Can I read Near-field Plates and the Near Zone of Metasurfaces on EtoBox?

Near-field Plates and the Near Zone of Metasurfaces by Roberto Merlin is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Near-field Plates and the Near Zone of Metasurfaces about?

A brief, tutorial account is given of the differences between the near and far regions of the electromagnetic field emphasizing the source-dependent behavior of the former and the universal properties of the latter. Field patterns of near-field plates, that is, metasurfaces used for sub-wavelength applications, are discussed in some detail. Examples are given of fields that decay away from the plates in an exponential manner, a ubiquitous feature of many interface problems, and metasurfaces for which the decay is not exponential, but algebraic. It is also shown that a properly designed system of two parallel near-field plates can produce fields that exhibit pseudo minima, which are potentially useful for near-field tweezer-like applications.

Who reads Near-field Plates and the Near Zone of Metasurfaces?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
