Abstract :
A careful study of the variation of the permittivity of synthetic foam materials under compression has led to a physically realisable solution to the problem of synthetising an inhomogeneous medium of propagation used to simulate curvature artificially in a microwave model of the Earth-ionosphere waveguide.
