Comparison of measurement and simulation of both amplitude and phase of reflected and transmitted fields in resonant Omega media

We present the measurement and the simulation results of a single-layer Omega slab and a double-layer slab in order to verify the effective properties at different slab thickness. This study establishes the accuracy of the calibration and measurement of the phases of the S-parameters and validates the homogenization procedure in the measurements. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
