Patent ID: 8902115

Claim:
A resonant dielectric metamaterial, comprising: a dielectric matrix; a first set of dielectric particles embedded in the matrix, each particle of the first set being substantially identically shaped and having a substantially identical permittivity, the particles in the first set having a dielectric constant that is higher than the dielectric constant of the matrix; and a second set of dielectric particles embedded in the matrix, the second set being substantially identically shaped and having a substantially identical permittivity, the particles in the second set having a dielectric constant that is higher than the dielectric constant of the matrix and a permittivity that is different from the permittivity of the particles in the first set; and wherein the dielectric particles in the first and second sets are arranged in cubic array and wherein the dielectric particles in the first or second set comprise an alumina-, zirconia-, or titania-based ceramic.
