Description
Summary:Dielectric metamaterials have been proved to have broad applications in the microwave and optical frequency bands. However, as the components of the communication system shrink, the coupling effects caused by tight arrangements between the dielectric structures have not been carefully studied enough yet. In this paper, the deep coupling effects in limited space between the adjacent dielectric metamaterials cubes are investigated. According to the correlation between the coupling effect and the incident wave, the influence of coupling effect on the scattering characteristics of the structure is studied from three aspects: coupling effect parallel to the wave vector/electric field/magnetic field, respectively. Field distributions and constitutive parameters are also demonstrated to illustrate the relationship between the coupling effects and scattering coefficients.
