<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an artificial medium which can be manufactured at a low cost and can be small-sized. <P>SOLUTION: In the artificial medium, two or more conducting planes each having a two-dimensional periodic array of conductive elements are disposed in a thickness direction. When an electromagnetic wave parallely propagating in the thickness direction is made incident, a current induced by the electromagnetic wave increases at an operation frequency and a current loop is formed in a plane in parallel with the thickness direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
