//Exa 2.17 clc; clear; close; // given : sigma=0 // conductivity in mho/m f=0.3 // frequency in GHz f=0.3*10^9 // frequency in Hz omega=2*%pi*f // angular frequency in rad/sec // formula : Gamma=sqrt(%i*omega*mu*(sigma+%i*omega*epsilon))=%i*omega*sqrt(mu*epsilon) epsilon_0=8.854*10^-12 // permittivity in free space in F/m epsilon=9*epsilon_0 // permittivity in F/m mu_0=4*%pi*10^-7 // permeability in free space in H/m mu=mu_0 // permeability in H/m Gamma=%i*omega*sqrt(mu*epsilon) // propagation constant im m^-1 disp(Gamma,"propagation constant im m^-1:") // formula : eta=sqrt((%i*omega*mu)/(sigma+omega*epsilon))=sqrt(mu/epsilon) eta=sqrt(mu_0/(9*epsilon_0)) // intrinsic impedence in ohm disp(eta,"intrinsic impedence in ohm:") // note : answer of propagation constant in book is wrong.they put mu_0=4*10^-7 in part 1 which is wrong the correct value of mu_0 is 4*%pi*10^-7.
