Abstract:Although there are several methods described in the literature to accurately measure the complex permittivity of solid dielectrics at radio frequencies in a laboratory environment, none of these methods allow for a large-scale accurate characterization of natural ionic dielectrics. The work presented here reports results of the dielectric permittivity retrieved from in situ measurements in a Romanian salt mine. Measurements were performed in the 164-174-MHz bandwidth, over a propagation distance of 100 m. The … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
