Subwavelength resonators are small scaled objects that exhibit contrasting medium properties (eigher in intensity or sign) while compared to the ones of a uniform background. Such contrasts allow them to resonate at specific frequencies.…

In the homogenization of composite metamaterials the role played by the relative positions of the wires and resonators is not well understood, though essential. We present a general argument which shows that the homogenization of such…
