Bistatic free-space measurements of magneto-dielectric materials and comparison with numericals models

A bistatic field measurement apparatus is described. It enables to acquire the field scattered by magneto-dielectric samples. Two numerical models are also proposed, in particular a linear one, in order to simulate the field propagation in such an environment. Some comparisons between simulated and measured scattered field are presented for magneto-dielectric samples. This study is a prerequisite step for inhomogeneous magneto-dielectric characterization in free-space.
