Figure 11. Dielectric permittivity curves and attenuation rates for the average
ε′, range of σ, and probable values of frel and εoo at JPG. A dielectric relax-
ation at about 3 GHz strongly increases β above about 300 MHz, yet wave
velocity (determined by the real part of εs*) remains constant to about 600
MHz.
