I was a bit hasty - Velocity equals frequency times wavelength - = wavelenth in the medium equals the wavelength in air divided by the = square root of the relative dielectric constant. sorry Justin -----Original Message----- From: Tabatchnick, Justin [mailto:justin.tabatchnick@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 3:55 PM To: c Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: (no subject) Hi all; I have to jump in to add my 2 cents for all it's worth. First of all the = =3D realative dielectric constant is not frequency dependent - you can =3D explain light dispersion not by a variation of dielectic with frequency = =3D but a variation of speed in the medium with the relative dielectric =3D constant . Velocity =3D3D frequency times wavelength , wavelength is = equal =3D to the wavelength divided by the square root of the relative dielectric = =3D constant- white light is made up of a spectrum of varying wavelengths = =3D all traveling at the same speed in air however in a medium their speeds = =3D differ and that is why you see a seperation. the only way you will see a = =3D variation in the dielectric constant is in a non-homogenous medium. On = =3D the other hand if a medium has any conductivity to it you will see a =3D variation with the loss tangent with frequency.

Zheng Cc: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: (no subject) Thanks for the information. I'm still a bit confused. For further = =3D3D clarification: In your first point, you imply that, for a homogenous medium, dispersion = =3D =3D3D is not possible (and Pozar implies this same thing for a TEM plane wave = =3D =3D3D on page 170 of his book). Is that correct? =3D3D20 I thought Er could vary with F. For instance, in optics, v =3D3D3D c/n, = =3D =3D3D where v is the phase velocity of a wave, c is the speed of light in a = =3D =3D3D vacuum, and n is the refractive index of the material. For light, this = =3D =3D3D refractive index is a function of frequency (hence prisms work). If Er = =3D =3D3D varied with F, wouldn't you get dispersion? What am I missing?

Zheng [mailto:jian@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 10:44 AM To: Loyer, Jeff; lifehappiest@xxxxxxxxxxx; steven.corey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] Re: (no subject) Hi: I would like to give a few comments on dispersion: 1. For TEM mode, the wave is propagating in one single medium. If the permittivity (Er) and the permeability (Mur) are constants, the phase velocity will be the same at each frequency and it is not a dispersive system. Coaxial and striplines are such cases if we neglect the loss on = =3D =3D3D the metallics bounding it. 2. For non-TEM wave, the wave is propagating in more than one medium. On = =3D =3D3D a typical microstrip or multiple layer structures, the wave can not =3D3D propagate in the horizontal direction (a). If it propagates in horizontal =3D3D direction, the phase of the wave can not match on the surface of the air and the substrate because the wave propagates at different velocity in the air = =3D =3D3D and the substrate. The mechanism is much more complicated. However, to =3D3D simplify it for illustration, you can imagine the wave will be bouncing back and forth inside the substrate between the ground plane and the =3D3D air-substrate surface. The direction of the power transportation is still along the micrstrip in the horizontal direction. However, it is the final effect = =3D =3D3D of the bouncing back and forth. At a specific frequency, the angle of the = =3D =3D3D wave will be fixed in order to form a waveguide mode. Also, the angle of the = =3D =3D3D wave will be changing with frequency. Therefore, the phase velocity at each frequency will be different even though the Er and Mur are the same. (a) air ---> ---- substrate ------------ ground (b) air -------------------------- substrate, \/\/ -------------------------- grouund plane 3. I saw comments that dispersion is related to loss. This is really not necessary. For a rectangular waveguide (RWG), theoretically, we can use = =3D =3D3D PEC to build the rectangular tube. There is no loss involved. However, a RWG = =3D =3D3D is always dispersive. That is due to the bouncing back and forth angle of = =3D =3D3D the wave inside the waveguide. RWG is the best example to illustrate how the wave is propagating inside a dispersive TLN. The wave has to form an = =3D3D angle to form a mode in order to propagate in the RWG. It is the same for microstrip. Those TLNs with one single medium and more than 1 conductor = =3D =3D3D are exception. Thanks!
