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.

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 ε_s.
4. In the Relative high frequency permittivity field, enter a value for ε_∞.
5. In the Relaxation frequency field, enter a value for f_r.
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.
