Summary

Substantial amount of work on the development of ME dipoles has been published by the originator’s group and other researchers and scholars over the past decade. It is now the appropriate time to review those findings and put those useful designs into appropriate perspectives. After providing the necessary background in understanding the importance of the ME dipoles in this introductory chapter, the detailed design guideline and performance of various ME dipoles with different characteristics will be presented and discussed in the chapters to follow.
