Broadband impedance matching for lossy magnetic metamaterials in conductive media.

ABSTRACT: We present a broadband impedance matching model for traveling waves on lossy magnetic metamaterials known as magnetoinductive waveguides (MIWs) in conductive media. Thus far, broadband impedance matching has only been demonstrated in the case of a lossless MIW in free-space due to complexities introduced by losses and eddy current effects. As such, current studies in conductive environments have been limited to utilizing narrow-band matching techniques or relying on attenuation to mitigate reflections, thus limiting the system performance in terms of bandwidth and transmission loss. The proposed model overcomes these limitations by utilizing the nearest neighbor coupling and binomial approximations to generate transducer design criteria in terms of equivalent circuit parameters for broadba
