Abstract
In this Brief report we propose a direct method of effective-parameters restoration that is based on the wave propagation phenomenon. It is easy in implementation, has no unambiguity in retrieving effective properties and is applicable to thick metamaterial (MTM) slabs. The method is validated on the case studies of fishnet, split cube in carcass, and Jerusalem cross MTMs. The constraints of the method are designated.
