1. In the context of electromagnetic waves, what is an open
propagation medium?
• It refers to media that do not have obstructions or barriers
preventing waves from propagating at their maximum
frequency.
Application exercise:
The following 4-step exercise describes the method to characterize an
electromagnetic wave when propagating in an open environment, for
which, each student must choose 1 propagation media of the proposed in
Table 1 and announce it within the Task 1 forum to avoid repetition.

Step 1: Calculate the tangent of losses Tan (δ) and the angle of losses
δ of the medium chosen in Table 1, if through it travel an electromagnetic
wave E of frequency 𝑓 = (𝐶𝐶𝐶 + 10) 𝑀𝐻𝑧. Note that 𝐶𝐶𝐶 are the last 3
digits of your identification number.

Interpretation
Interpretation: Using the formulas we obtain a value of loss tangent
equal to zero that helped us to determine that the vacuum behaves as a
perfect dielectric media. In the other hand, for a frequency of 523 MHz
we calculate a propagation speed of 299.796 m/s, with a wavelength of
0.573 m and a penetration depth reached in the vacuum that tending to
infinity according to the attenuation constant.
