Abstract

The present paper aims at the development of a metamaterial to optimize the focusing properties of an intracranial monitoring and hyperthermia treatment device through negative refraction. The design parameters of the proposed metamaterial are presented and the structure is analyzed using analytical methods as well as a 3D full wave simulation verifying theoretical results.
