In this contribution we show how it is possible to construct a new multilayer dielectric ground plane us- ing bianisotropic media that is highly reflective over a broad range of wavelengths at all angles. This omnidirectional di- electric reflector-unlike metal-is nearly totally lossless and can be engineered to have extremely high reflectivity. The plane wave solution is then used to study in a rigorous way the wave equations satisfied by the electromagnetic field in a lay- ered structure filled with such a material. Numerical results are also presented as a function of the material parameters in order to demonstrate the features of this approach.

Abstract
In this contribution we show how it is possible to construct a new multilayer dielectric ground plane us- ing bianisotropic media that is highly reflective over a broad range of wavelengths at all angles. This omnidirectional di- electric reflector-unlike metal-is nearly totally lossless and can be engineered to have extremely high reflectivity. The plane wave solution is then used to study in a rigorous way the wave equations satisfied by the electromagnetic field in a lay- ered structure filled with such a material. Numerical results are also presented as a function of the material parameters in order to demonstrate the features of this approach.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
