1. Introduction 1. Introduction

Metamaterials is a subset of a broader family of materials, the Composite Materials, and they are designed to have properties that are not found in materials in nature. (p.s. negative Poisson ratio or negative electric and magnetic coeficient). Metamaterials have been theoretically studied from the beginning of the 19 th century. First implementation of metamaterials appears on aircrafts’ antennas (Capolino F. (2009)). According to wave theory, the antenna’s length should be several meters which is unacceptable for the size of an aircraft. The usage of metamaterials has contribute to reduce the size of antennas, in a strictly defined band .
