Abstract :
It is shown that attenuation coefficients obtained from Qfactor measurements on resonant waveguides containing more than one homogeneous dielectric medium would be subject to significant error if certain forms of the expression relating the Qfactor to the attenuation coefficient were applied. In particular, results for the Goubau surface-wave transmission line are examined.
