The anisotropic properties of an infinite stack of thin dielectric sheets separated by another set of thin sheets with a different dielectric constant is investigated. It is shown that the anisotropic properties are brought about because of the two distinct modes of propagation which can exist in such a stacked array of sheets. The limiting forms of the wave solutions and second-order results for the equivalent dielectric constants are given.
