Experimental and Computational Studies on the Basic Transmission Properties of Electromagnetic Waves in Softmaterial Waveguides.

ABSTRACT: Conventional waveguides are usually made of metallic materials, and they are effective pathways for the transmission of electromagnetic waves. A "Softmaterial waveguide", by contrast, is supposed to be made of dielectric material and ionic fluids. In this work, by means of both experiment and computational simulation we examined one kind of softmaterial waveguide, which has the configuration of ionic fluids filled in and out of a dielectric tube. We investigated configurations with varied parameters, i.e., tube thickness from 0.2 mm to 5.0 mm, tube length of 2.0-12.0 cm, ionic concentration covering 4 orders of magnitude from 0.0002-2.0 mol/L, frequency of 10 Hz to 100 MHz for sine wave excitations, pulse duration of 5 ns to 100 ms for excitation pulses. We also mimicked the myelin sheath
