Fig. 3. Fraction of electromagnetic power transported by the transverse-magnetic mode along a single-rod probe (SRP) within a cylinder of radius r, coaxial to the SRP. Radius of SRP rSRP = 0.005 m. In all cases {sigma}SRP = 5.8 x 107 S m–1 and µr = 1.0. Top: SRP in air, {epsilon}r = 1; middle: SRP in dry sand, {epsilon}r = 2.8; bottom: SRP in wet sand, {epsilon}r = 20.
