Abstract
We present a review of homogenization models of microwave wire media with different geometries. We begin with a simple (uniaxial) wire medium and then consider more complex types of wire media - double, triple, and interlaced wire media - which remain underexplored. We discuss boundary problems with wire media and the most important physical effects revealed using the reviewed homogenization models.
