Description
Summary:For biomedical applications in the terahertz band, composites such as macromolecule compounds, biotissues and phantoms are studied. A description of dielectric properties of composite materials using mathematical models has its own fundamental and technological importance. In this work, we present an iterative effective medium theory for multi-component materials. The model has good performance in describing composite materials with more than two components. The theory is evaluated by comparing with the complex permittivity of three different composite materials. A comparison with other commonly used models is given in the form of relative errors.
