            Abstract : 
In this contribution, we present a novel simulation based technique for the investigation of arbitrary dielectric material compositions. The proposed procedure bases on a randomization process in combination with transient 3D electromagnetic simulations and robust signal processing. The comparison to commonly known dielectric mixing rules proves the effectiveness of the automated simulation process. Detailed information on the randomized material modeling, the simulation process as well as the evaluation of the applicability of the proposed method are part of this contribution.
