 1. Explain the practical application of the loss tangent with an
example.

2. What kind of information give us the propagation velocity in

electromagnetic waves propagation?

3. Explain how an electromagnetic wave behaves in free space,

perfect dielectrics and good conductors.

4. Using the electromagnetic spectrum, explain the practical

application of every type of radiation.
5. What is the refraction index and what kind of information give us
about the electromagnetic waves behavior?
6.
7. What is a plane wave and a non-plane wave and where are they
used? What is a magnetic and a nonmagnetic medium and where
are they used? Why do we use plane waves to explain practical
models associated to electromagnetic phenomenon?

Choose one of the following problems, solve it and share the

solution in the forum. Perform a critical analysis on the group
members’ contributions and reply this in the forum.

1. A dissipative medium has the following parameters:

𝜀𝑟 = 6, 𝜇𝑟 = 1.25 and 𝜎 = 1.5 𝑆/𝑚
Fin the wavelength and the amount of wavelengths that will
penetrate a 9.6MHz signal.

2. In a medium with the following characteristics, 𝜀𝑟 = 4, 𝜇𝑟 = 1.6 and

𝜎 = 2.3𝑥10−4 𝑆/𝑚 find these parameters for a 90MHz signal:
a. Loss tangent.
b. Propagation constant.
c. Phase velocity.
d. Wavelength.
 e. Index of refraction.
Explain the meaning of each found value.

3. An open medium has the following electromagnetic characteristics

𝜀𝑟 = 9, 𝜇𝑟 = 1.6 and 𝜎 = 1.2𝑥10−5 𝑆/𝑚
Find the power transmitted by a 300MHz signal with a maximum
electric field of 200V/m and find the skin depth of the signal.

4. For a medium with the same electromagnetic characteristics than

the third problem, find the losses per length unit for a 500MHz
signal. If the original signal has an electric field of 120Vrms/m. Find
the losses in watts when the signal travels 10m in the medium.

5. For a 2.5GHz signal, traveling in seawater find the attenuation per

length unit. How long does the signal have to travel, in order to
have an attenuation greater than 3dB?
