Abstract
Metamaterials (MTM) are artificial periodic structures made of small elements and designed to obtain specific electromagnetic properties. As long as the periodicity and the size of the elements are much smaller than the wavelength of interest, an artificial structure can be described by a permittivity and permeability, just like natural materials. Metamaterials can be customized to have the permittivity and permeability desired for a particular application. Waveguides loaded with metamaterials are of interest because the metamaterials can change the dispersion relation of the waveguide significantly. Slow backward waves, for example, can be produced in an LHM-loaded waveguide without corrugations. In this paper we present theoretical studies and computer modeling of waveguides loaded with 2D anisotropic metamaterials, including the dispersion relation for a MTM-loaded waveguide. The dispersion relation of a MTM-loaded waveguide has several interesting frequency bands which are described. It is shown theoretically that dipole mode suppression may be possible. Therefore, metamaterials can be used to suppress wakefields in accelerating structures.
