Description: The behaviour of a floating planar anisotropic patch metamaterial driven by dipole source is studied. An equivalent floating wire metamaterial is developed. Moment method simulations show strong similarities between the two configurations. The floating planar anisotropic metamaterial is analyzed through homogeneous medium analysis. Near field results show that such an analysis with an infinitely long, filamentary, magnetic line current source is applicable to the floating planar anisotropic patch configuration. The potential application of a floating planar anisotropic metamaterial as a waveguide and an antenna is explored. It is shown that the proposed structure can be used as a waveguide, however, it is not suitable for antenna applications since the antenna gain is too low.
