Two types of transformation are presented, coordinate transformation and space transformation. Implementations using metamaterials are also discussed. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One focuses on coordinate transformation in the design of devices capable of modifying the electromagnetic appearance of a radiating source. Transformation of a directive radiation pattern into an isotropic one (and vice-versa) through space stretching and compression, respectively, and the possibility of creating multiple beams are also studied. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two deals with devices designed using space transformation concepts. Quasi-conformal transformation optics (QCTO) are applied for the design of lenses, either to compensate for the phase shift created by the conformation of an array of sources or to steer a beam to an off-normal direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses firstly on the theoretical tools that define transformation optics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddress the origin of these concepts by analyzing Fermat’s principle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails the basic approaches and methods needed to design practical applications of transformation optics concepts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079482818800,"sku":"9780081017715","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081017715_p0.jpg?v=1763639054","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081017715","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
