Abstract
We present a general analysis to describe non-periodic artificial dielectric layers (ADLs). Closed-form expressions for the equivalent layer impedance are given for generic plane-wave incidence, assuming that each individual layer can differ from the others in terms of geometrical parameters. By dropping the assumption of identical layers, the given formulas are of more general applicability for flexible designs artificial dielectric slabs that are not uniform along the stratification. The analytical expressions account for the interaction between layers due to higher-order Floquet modes, thus remain valid for arbitrarily small electrical distance between layers.
