Radiation from elementary sources in a uniaxial wire medium

Abstract

We investigate the radiation properties of two types of elementary sources embedded in a uniaxial wire medium: a short dipole parallel to the wires and a lumped voltage source connected across a gap in a generic metallic wire. It is demonstrated that the radiation pattern of these elementary sources have quite anomalous and unusual properties. Specifically, the radiation pattern of a short vertical dipole resembles that of an isotropic radiator close to the effective plasma frequency of the wire medium, whereas the radiation from the lumped voltage generator is characterized by an infinite directivity and a non-diffractive far-field distribution.
