The algorithm of estimating the density of surface magnetic current induced on the array aperture has been obtained as a result of the rigorous solution of the problem of plane wave diffraction on a double periodic array of stripline elements of any shape with passive loads. Electromagnetic wave diffraction

... materials, such as magnetic metals or magnetic semiconductors, having simultaneously negative electrical and magnetic permeabilities are considered. One finds that the refractive index with respect to vacuum is negative; that the Poynting vector and the wave vector of propagating EM waves have opposite signs; that the sign of the Doppler effect is opposite that, for ordinary materials and that the Cherenkov radiation cone is directed backwards rather than forwards. Finally, the question of the mechanical ...
