Activity
Application exercises:
For the development of the following exercises, note that ¿ corresponds to
the group number and CCC to the last 3 digits of the identification number.

1. An electromagnetic wave of f =CCC MHz is transmitted from the bottom of a

ship to a receiver located at p=1 Km depth. The wave is emitted with an
advance angle of a=(5+ ¿)° . Determine the time it takes for the wave to
reach the receiver.

Solution
f =153 MHz
a=(5+ 23) °
a=(28) °
p=1 Km

For development, follow the following steps:
a. Calculate the tangent of losses tan(δ )=σ /ω ε .

Propagation medium: Sea water

Sea water conductivity: σ =4 S / m

Sea water electrical permittivity: ε r=80

σ σ
tan ( δ )= =

ω ε 2 πf ε r ε o 2 π∗1.53 x 108 Hz∗80∗8.8542 x 10−12 C 2 /N m 2

( δ )=80.33 °
 b. Classify the behavior of the medium.
Media Tan(δ) δ [°]

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

0 < Tan(δ) <= 0° < δ

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

3. Dissipative (Dielectrics with 0,1 < Tan(δ) 6° < δ

dielectrics losses) <= 10 <= 84°

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

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

Interpretation: According to the concept of Tangent of losses, explain

the meaning of the value obtained for tan ( δ ).
The loss tangent allows me to identify the quality of the electrical
insulation of a material, where if the conduction current is less than the
displacement current, the quality of the electrical insulation will be
much better.

c. Calculate the propagation parameters of the wave γ , α and β .

a. Propagation constant  (gamma).

b. Attenuation constant  (Alpha).
c. Phase constant  (Beta).

1. Replace your values (with units) in the equation.

a. Propagation constant  (gamma).

γ = √ jωμ(σ + j ωε)

γ = √ j2 π∗1(1,2566 x 10−6 Tm / A )(4 S /m+ j2 πf (80∗8,8542 x 10−12 C 2 / Nm 2))
