conference contribution

investigate the fabricational and electromagnetic advantages of
creating integrated antenna systems using emerging nanomanufacturing
technology. It has been known for several
decades that the effective permittivity of a mixture consisting of
dielectric inclusions in a host dielectric can be controlled by
varying the permittivity, size and spacing of the inclusions.
Various authors have developed theoretical equations to analyse
these structures but are typically limited to spherical inclusions
in a uniform cubic lattice. This paper extends this work from
spheres in a uniform mesh to investigate thin metallic inclusions
in a dielectric host using a non-uniform lattice (spacing in x, y
and z, not the same). Electromagnetic simulations of these
structures have been compared to canonical equations of spheres
in a cubic uniform lattice with the same volume ratio.
