This review is dedicated to the Effective Medium Theory of two-component metamaterials in the broad frequency range from microwaves to visible region. The metamaterials are unbounded periodic 2-D lattice of infinitely long cylinders of circular cross section or unbounded periodic 3-D lattice of spherical particles embedded in a homogeneous isotropic host dielectric. Three types of inclusions are considered: 1) non-magnetic metal inclusions; 2) ferric inclusions; 3) ferromagnetic inclusions. It is assumed that ferric and ferromagnetic inclusions can be fully or partially magnetized by an external dc bias magnetic field. Two directions of wave propagation are considered for magnetized inclusions: 1) the direction of the bias field; 2) the direction transversal to the direction of magnetization. It has been shown that the metamaterials can exhibit the different properties depending on the material constituent and the direction of wave propagation. Antenna substrate application of the metamaterials is discussed in the review.

包括磁性在内的双组分超材料的广义宽带有效介质理论：综述

本综述致力于从微波到可见光区域的宽频率范围内双组分超材料的有效介质理论。超材料是无限长圆形截面圆柱体的无界周期性 2-D 晶格或嵌入均匀各向同性主体电介质中的球形粒子的无界周期性 3-D 晶格。考虑三种类型的夹杂物： 1) 非磁性金属夹杂物；2) 铁夹杂物；3）铁磁性夹杂物。假设三价铁和铁磁夹杂物可以被外部直流偏置磁场完全或部分磁化。磁化夹杂物考虑了两个波传播方向：1) 偏置场的方向；2) 横向于磁化方向的方向。已经表明，超材料可以根据材料成分和波传播方向表现出不同的特性。综述中讨论了超材料的天线基板应用。
