title: Low-frequency spatial dispersion in wire media.
abstract: This work is dedicated to the theoretical analysis of wire media, i.e., lattices of perfectly conducting wires consisting of two or three doubly periodic arrays of parallel wires which are orthogonal to one another. An analytical method based on the local field approach is used. The explicit dispersion equations are presented and studied. The possibility of introducing a dielectric permittivity is discussed. The theory is validated by comparison with the numerical data available in the literature.
