A parallel plate transmission line is made of an 8 mm thick dielectric material with µε = µ₀ε₀. The conductors on the top and bottom of the material are made of Tin (σ = 8.7 x 10⁶ S/m) and are assumed to be infinitely wide. A signal of 9 V at 21.5GHz is applied to the top conductor and the bottom conductor is grounded.
