spatially varied arbitrary permittivity. This, along with recent interest in millimeter-wave lens-
based antennas demands high spatial resolution dielectric variation. Perforated media have
been used to fabricate gradient index structures from microwaves to THz but are often
limited in contrast. We show that by employing regular polygon unit-cells (hexagon, square,
and triangle) on matched lattices we can realize very high contrast permittivity ranging from …
