It will also be shown that the corresponding active metamaterial element versions of
these metamaterial-inspired ESA designs, i.e., replacing the internal passive elements in
successful narrow bandwidth, high overall efficiency designs with active elements, could
potentially have very large instantaneous bandwidths while maintaining their overall
efficiencies even when they are very electrically small. Related active coated nano-sized
particle designs at optical frequencies have led to highly sub-wavelength lasing systems
[4] and their proposed nano-sensor and nano-antenna applications.
