Abstract
The EM characterization of metamaterials may be performed using (a) analytical methods, (b) field averaging methods and (c) experimental methods. It is observed that the analytical and field averaging methods based on simulation tools often lead to erroneous results, while retrieving the constitutive parameters of metamaterials. Hence experimental techniques are essentially required for accurate EM characterization of metamaterials as the reliability of hardware realization of metamaterial-based sub-systems depend extensively on the intrinsic properties. In this regard, a review of measurement techniques for EM material characterization of metamaterials has been carried out. The salient features of each method have been discussed in detail in this report and an overview of the salient features of the methods considered are given in Table 4.1.
