Abstract :
A new experimental method for characterization of artificial magnetic materials was introduced. The new method employs a simple and inexpensive setup, and can be used over a wide range of frequencies. The proposed method was used to characterize artificial magnetic materials with Fractal Hilbert inclusions. Measurement results show good agreement with the numerical results.
