                         performance of a standard X-band horn antenna loaded by such a 
                         bulk metamaterial medium. The wire medium is composed of a 
                         periodic array of 0.5-mm-diameter metallic wires arranged in a 
                         square pattern with lattice spacing of 10.0 mm and hosted in 
                         Styrofoam plates. Experimental measurements of the radiation 
                         pattern at 11.70 GHz show an enhancement of the side lobes while 
                         maintaining the antenna peak gain, indicating that the 
                         metamaterial wire medium introduces negligible loss into the 
                         loaded antenna.",
