Abstract. The paper presents the study of a metamaterial with dielectric constant close to unity. Such a metamaterial can be used to create radomes. This material is a multilayer dielectric structure, between layers of which are incorporated compensation grating inductive type. In order to increase the inductance, grid wires are bent in the form of a solenoid. As shown in the paper, additional inductance obtained by curving wire, provides a strong material with high radio-technical characteristics. The research results reported in the paper were presented at the International Conference "Radiation and scattering of electromagnetic waves".

Keywords: metamaterial, radome, compensating lattice, equivalent long line, sandwich dielectric structure.
