The attenuation of a plane wave is caused by the conductivity , resulting in power dissipation, and conductors are called lossy media. Dielectrics without conductivity are called losslessmedia. Besides conductor loss there are other losses due to dielectric polarization and magnetization. As a result, both permittivity and permeability are complex, so that = − j and = − j. The imaginary part stands for dissipation, and they are called dielectric loss and magnetic loss, respectively. For non-ferromagnetic media, the magnetization loss can be neglected. For electromagnetic waves at lower frequencies, dielectric loss can be neglected
