Effective Microwave Electromagnetic Response of the Infinite Chain of Dielectric Coated Circular Metal Cylinders

Abstract

Microwave approximations for effective electric and magnetic responses of the infinite chain have been obtained in this study. This infinite chain is comprised of infinitely long dielectric coated circular metal cylinders periodically located in a free space. The obtained approximations have been derived on the basis of the long wave approximation for the diffraction problem of a plane electromagnetic wave on the cylindrical chain using the Effective Medium Theory. Comparisons of the analytically obtained results with the numerically calculated ones have made in the study.
