Electromagnetic Wave Attenuation in Lossy Dielectric

Article Preview

Abstract:

The importance of knowing dielectric value on a medium is to perceive the capability of conducting electromagnetic wave. Most of failure on electromagnetic instruments, were due to an inaccuracy of selecting material. Improper usage of materials may cause the attenuation of electromagnetic energy. So, it is important to measure the attenuation value. In this study, we compared the attenuation value on three media such as clay, silicon and wood. The problem mentioned above, could resolved by applying the electromagnetic propagation formula using skylab program. In this study we compared the effect constitutive parameters to the attenuation value and frequency in three media. The result shows, among three materials, at the same frequency we obtain that electromagnetic energy much easily attenuated on clay compared to other materials followed by silicon and wood. The reason is due to the conductivity value. In this study, we obtain that clay is the most sensitive on attenuation value on frequency followed by silicon and wood.
