Material properties using functions

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

hello
I'm simulating a human body skin using COMSOL, the properties of the skin change depending on the applied frequency. For instance the electrical conductivity is 1.49 at 2.5 GHz while it's 15.1 at freq= 16 GHz, the same concept for the relative permittivity. However, I have a file with such givens at the different frequencies, what i need is to make a sweep over these different frequencies but i want the properties of the material to be changed at these frequencies as well. Is that possible to be done on COMSOL??
thanks a lot

Doaa

How can I do this plz
i'm searching for the modes exist at different frequencies and make that sweep so that I can find which frequency gives better response

plz write me steps for doing that

thanks very very much

Well, the first question I'd have is whether your conductivity is separate or in addition to loss modeled by a complex permittivity. Thus, the first thing you'll need to consider are the settings of Wave Equation, Electric and how you are modelling conduction current versus displacement current. Could you tell me your approach?

Use interpolation function in material properties and have frequency ( parameter sweep parameter) as argument.
