Abstract

This review paper is based on the brief history, classification and utilities of metamaterial in various fields. An introduction to metamaterials followed by a detailed elaboration on how to design unprecedented electromagnetic properties of metamaterials is presented. Further we discussed the different structure approaches of metamaterials and their advantages. Finally, we offer an outlook on future directions of metamaterials research.
