A frequency selective magnetodielectric layer in polarimetric radar antenna track

A periodically stratified medium consisting of alternating layers of two magnetodielectric media is considered. In the long wavelength limit such a medium might be treated as uniaxial effective substrate. For oblique incidence of TE and TM type electromagnetic waves, the reflection and transmission coefficients are found. On the basis of numerical solution of associated periodic boundary-value problem, finite scale homogenization model is discussed. Prospective applications of the slab treated for designing frequency selective structure situated in the track of polarimetric radar antenna is pointed out.
