Data needed: Relative permittivity of air

In summary, the individual is looking for the values of relative permittivity of air at various conditions such as temperature, frequency, pressure, and humidity. They are specifically interested in data around 1.4 GHz, 25ºC, 1 atm, and 50% humidity. They have searched on Google but have not found accurate and reliable data for their application, which requires a precision of 1e-5. They are seeking assistance in finding this data or a formula that can provide it.

Where can I found values of the relative permittivity of air at different temperatures, frequencies, pressure, humidity, etc. or its dependence?
I'm particularly interested in data around 1.4 GHz, 25ºC, 1 atm. 50% hum.

Thanks in advance.

Google is your friend. What have you found so far with your Google searches? Have you found numerous websites with information on this, but not one or two of the values that you need? What accuracy do you need the data to? What is the application?

In this case, Google is not my friend, or it is not enough. Indeed there are numerous websites where the data appears, but not with sufficient accuracy or without information on temperature, frequency, reliable reference, etc. For example, values like 1, 10006, 1000589, 10005364, 1000524, etc. are found.
Do a search for yourself and you will see what I say.
The application for which I need the data requires a precision of 1e-5 and at 25ºC, 1 atm, 50% hum, 1.4 GHz approximately, or some formula that allows obtaining it for those conditions and a reliable reference that can be cited in a paper.
Can anyone help, please?
 

FAQ: Data needed: Relative permittivity of air

What is the relative permittivity of air?

The relative permittivity of air, also known as the dielectric constant, is a measure of how much electric charge can be stored in a material compared to a vacuum. In air, it is approximately equal to 1.

Why is the relative permittivity of air important?

The relative permittivity of air is important in many scientific and engineering applications, such as in the design of electronic circuits and antennas. It also plays a role in understanding the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere.

How is the relative permittivity of air measured?

The relative permittivity of air can be measured using various techniques, such as by comparing the capacitance of a capacitor filled with air to that of a vacuum. It can also be calculated using the Clausius-Mossotti equation, which relates the dielectric constant to the refractive index of a material.

Does the relative permittivity of air change with temperature or pressure?

Yes, the relative permittivity of air can vary with changes in temperature and pressure. This is because the density and molecular structure of air can be affected by these factors, which in turn can impact its dielectric properties.

What are some factors that can affect the relative permittivity of air?

Besides temperature and pressure, other factors that can influence the relative permittivity of air include humidity, frequency of the electric field, and the presence of impurities or other gases in the air. These factors can alter the polarizability of air molecules, leading to changes in its dielectric constant.
