| In this section, the EM properties (complex dielectric permittivity, complex magnetic permeability, and DC conductivity) versus frequency and temperature of many Martian analogs were measured using an HP 8753D vector network analyzer with 14 mm (GR-900) waveguides. If a sample possessed a relaxation loss, its Cole-Cole and generalized Boltzmann equation parameters were found. If a sample did not possess any measureable losses, then its frequency independent EM properties were found. |
