This is also confirmed by simulation.

15. Actually, it is hard to figure out the exact frequency at which the permeabilty is equal to zero. There is error within the scope of ±0.05 GHz for the retrieved zero-permeabilty frequency. In the experiment, we define this frequency by comparing the main lobe shapes with the simulated radiaton patterns near it. The main lobe shape when μrz >0 is explained in the following part of the paper.
