Resonance-antiresonance electromagnetic behavior in a disordered dielectric composite

In the present study, a kind of SiCw/wax composite was prepared and its electromagnetic properties were studied experimentally. It is found that Mie resonance can occur in this composite in spite of its disordered structure. The Mie resonance is believed to lead to the resonant-antiresonant electromagnetic behavior accompanied by a negative epsilon(') in the SiCw/wax composite in the 2-18 GHz band range. The resulted magnetic behavior in the current composite is believed to be weakened by the random orientation of the whiskers.
