Creating a Dielectric Medium (Havriliak-Negami)

Create a frequency-dependent dielectric using the Havriliak-Negami method. Use this method to model liquids, solids and semi-solids.

  1. On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the  Media icon. From the drop-down list, click the  Dielectric icon.
    Figure 1. The Create Dielectric Medium dialog (Havriliak-Negami).


  2. In the Definition method field, from the drop-down list select Havriliak-Negami.
  3. In the Relative static permittivity field, enter a value for εs.
  4. In the Relative high frequency permittivity field, enter a value for ε∞.
  5. In the Relaxation frequency field, enter a value for fr.
  6. In the Attenuation factor field, enter a value for α.
  7. In the Phase factor field, enter a value for β.
  8. [Optional] Specify the magnetic properties of the dielectric.
  9. In the Label field, enter a unique label for the dielectric.
  10. Click Create to create the dielectric and to close the dialog.
