Abstract :
In recent years there has been a surge of interest in various disciplines within applied electromagnetics, including electrically small antennas, MIMO antennas, periodic structures and metamaterials. Though a multitude of interesting applications have arisen, there still remain numerous fundamental questions regarding these burgeoning areas of research. We show how a characteristic mode analysis can provide insights into some of these questions.
