Propagation in metamaterials and causality

The paper presents a contribution to a recent vivid discussion within the microwave community regarding causality of wave propagation in metamaterials. That discussion resulted in consecutive articles [1]..[4] published in the IEEE Microwave Magazine. In this presentation, the author builds upon his theoretical studies summarised in [4] and supplements the theory with illustrative examples of time-domain electromagnetic simulations. Participants of the MIKON conference and other parties interested in simulating the same (and more) examples themselves are encouraged to contact the author to receive a special demo version of the time-domain software simulation software serving this task.
