Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the mixture models used in radio physics to describe the effective properties of composite materials and formulates the limits of their applicability and criteria for checking their correctness. Two of the most general models have been chosen, which take into account the transformation of the composite structure upon changes in its composition. The correspondence of the chosen model to the experimental results is considered. The effect of the composite structure on the frequency of the maximum and the shape of its dielectric absorption line is shown. The analysis shows that the complication of the models in comparison with those already known and an increase in the number of parameters determined from the experiment is inappropriate at the existing level of the composition and material parameters (permittivity and permeability) measuring error and due to a significant contribution of the size and surface effects, which is not taken into account in quasi-static mixture models.
