A new approach is proposed for determining the optical properties of metamaterials with a complex unit cell geometry. It is based on the concept of an effective dielectric constant εeff (ω) and magnetic permeability μeff (ω) as a sum of Lorentzian functions, each of which is responsible for a certain dipole or multipole resonance of the structure. It is found that for "fishnet" metamaterials the spectral dependences εeff (ω) and magnetic permeability μeff (ω) are determined by a small number of resonances. This approach is used to calculate the effective dielectric constant and magnetic permeability of metamaterials with ordered and disordered unit cells. The spectra obtained by this analytical model are in good agreement with numerical simulations.
