Homogenization Models for a Simple Dielectric-Composite Slab upon Oblique Incidence

Figure 2

Four different models applied to characterize the dielectric slab in Figure 1. In (a), is the relative effective permittivity of the homogeneous model; and in (b) are the permittivities of the outermost boundary and inner layers; and in (c) denote the - and -components of the permittivity; and in (d) are the - and -components of the permittivities of the outermost boundary layers, while is the inner layer permittivity.
