Homogenization of the Maxwell equations in an anisotropic material

Summary, in English

This paper contains an overview of the homogenization of anisotropic materials

at fixed frequency using the concept of two-scaled convergence. The

homogenized electric and magnetic parameters, the relative permittivity and

the relative permeability, respectively, are found by suitable averages of the

solution of a local problem in the unit cell. A comparison between the exact

homogenization method presented in this paper and the traditional mixture

formulae, which are based on physical arguments, is made.
