Extension of the Multipole Approach to Random Metamaterials

Figure 11

(a) Rectangular and (b) Gaussian forms of distribution function used for governing the positional disorder of the metamaterials along the lateral direction. The positional disorder is expressed in terms of the relative angle between two neighboring meta-atoms. The effective material parameters of the ensemble are derived and presented in Figure 12 for three different values of disorder.
