I was wondering what the general relationship between frequency and
its ability to transmit through various materials? For instance, 1GHz
and 1MHz obviously transmit differently through materials. I'm
curious as to what material properties are involved (i.e. dielectric
constant, density, etc?)

The main reason for this questions is I'm wondering how well 1+ GHz
(GPS) signals transmit through about 1.5 inches of expanded
polystyrene (styrofoam).

Thanks in advance for any insight!
Dave

Thanks everyone for all the info! That was definately educational and
answered my quesiton.

Yeah, now I can amaze all my friends and co-workers. All I need to do
now is get some of that "male enhancement" Enzyte and I'll probably be
CEO by next month.

What I was looking for was really this: tangent loss and dielectric
constant are the two main factors that determine RF propogation
properties through a material.

It seemed to work for Smilin' Bob! I love those commercials.
