Coherent attenuation of electromagnetic waves by randomly distributed and oriented pair‐correlated dielectric scatterers is studied as a function of frequency and volume concentration of scatterers. Average frequency dependent dielectric properties are also studied. The results indicate that the attenuation and hence the effective properties differ considerably from those of aligned scatterers.
