    The student chose vegetable soil as the propagation medium and completed 4 steps to characterize an electromagnetic wave propagating through it. In step 1, the student calculated the loss tangent and loss angle. In step 2, the medium was classified as a good insulator. In step 3, the propagation, attenuation, and phase constants were calculated. Finally, in step 4 the propagation speed, wavelength, and penetration depth were determined. The wave was found to propagate rapidly at 1.7308x108 m/s through the medium, with a penetration depth of 91.55 meters.

    Answers: (write with your own words)
    1. In the context of electromagnetic waves, what is an open propagation
    medium?

    Medium is open when the propagation does not find any obstacle that reflects
    the waves towards the emitting focus.
    2. Within the propagation mediums, what is the meaning of the “loss
    tangent”?

    Tangent loss is defined as the basic measurement parameter intended to


    determine the performance of the medium.
    3. How can we classify a medium according to the value of its "loss tangent"?

    Perfect dielectrics: they do not present conduction current, therefore, they do


    not have Joule effect losses. ( )=0; =0

    Perfect conductors: they do not present polarization current, therefore, they do


    not have capacitive or charge accumulation effects. ( ) ⟶ ∞; =

    Good insulators: they present conduction current and have losses due to Joule,
    but this effect is almost negligible compared to the capacitive effect, they are
    called also “low loss dielectrics”. ( )=0 ; =0

    Good conductors: they present polarization current, therefore, they have


    capacitive effects or charge accumulation, but it is much more significant th
    conduction current and Joule effect losses. ( ) ⟶ ∞; ⟶

    Dissipative dielectrics: they present both effects and neither is negligible


    compared to the other. 0 < <

    4. What is "penetration depth" of an electromagnetic wave?

    the field decays exponentially when entering a lossy medium. The attenuation
    constant gives a measure of the rate of decay of the signal amplitude.
    Application exercise:
    The following 4-step exercise describes the method to characterize an
    electromagnetic wave when propagating in an open environment, for which,
    each student must choose 1 propagation media of the proposed in Table 1 and
    announce it within the Task 1 forum to avoid repetition.
    Table 1: Conductivity and electrical permittivity of some media.
    Media [ ⁄ ] []

    7. Vacuum 0 1
    = ε ε ; ε = 8.8542x10 /N
    Step 1: Calculate the tangent of losses Tan (δ) and the angle of losses δ of the
    medium chosen in Table 1, if through it travel an electromagnetic wave E of
    frequency = (469 + 10) = 479 . Note that are the last 3 digits
    of your identification number.

    = (0.0012) = 0.0716°

    Step 2: According to the result obtained in point 1, classify the behavior of the
    chosen medium according to one of the 5 options in Table 2:
    Table 2: Classification of propagation media.

    Media Tan(δ) δ [°]


    1. Perfect dielectrics (Not dissipative) Tan(δ) = 0 δ = 0°

    2. Good insulators (Lost low dielectric) 0 < Tan(δ) <= 0,1 0° < δ <= 6°

    3. Dissipative dielectrics (Dielectrics with losses) 0,1 < Tan(δ) <= 10 6° < δ <= 84°

    4. Good conductors (Good conductors) Tan(δ) > 10 84°< δ < 90°

    5. Perfect conductors (Perfect conductors) Tan(δ) >>> 10 δ = 90°


    ( ) = 0.0325 and = 1.8617°, the medium is classified as a good insulator
    (Lost low dielectric)
    Step 3: According to the classification obtained in step 2 and using Table 3
    shown below, calculate the following propagation parameters of the wave in the
    chosen medium:
    a. Propagation constant  (gamma).
    b. Attenuation constant  (Alpha).
    c. Phase constant  (Beta).

    Interpretation
    Interpretation:

    as answered in the background knowledge questions, when ( ) and are


    close to 0, the medium is classified as good throwaways.
    The wave propagates rapidly through the medium, in the order of 10^8 meters
    per second, and the penetration of the wave is 91.55 meters, which is quite a
    high value.
