Code 4.2: Relative Dielectric Constant of Saline Water

Code Name: RelDielConst_SalineWater.m

Description: Code computes the real and imaginary parts of the relative dielectric constant of water at any temperature over 0 < T < 30 °C, salinity 0 < S < 40‰, and frequency over 0 < f < 1000 GHz.

Input Variables:

  T:    Temperature (°C)
  f:    Frequency (GHz)
  S:    Salinity (parts per thousand)

Output Products:

  εw ':    Real part of relative dielectric constant (unitless)
  εw '':    Imaginary part of relative dielectric constant (unitless)

Book Reference: Section 4-2 and Eqs. (4.19) and (4.21)
