Artificial Dielectrics Composed of Metal Strips and Calculation Method of the Permittivity and Permeability

Abstract

It is necessary to know the effective permittivity and permeability of an artificial material, when one tries to utilize it for microwave resonators. The proposal is to calculate them easily by use of a commercial software for electromagnetic wave analysis. After examining the validity of the present method, they carry out the parametric study of an artificial dielectric based on metallic unit particles and its control. By adjusting the geometrical parameters, the material composed of metal strips acquires high anisotropy and permittivity. The material is made up of sheet-type print boards to measure the permittivity.
