Idealized plot of transmission loss versus frequency.where the critical frequency f ∗ is given byf ∗ = c λ ∗which corresponds to the grazing incidence θ = 90 ◦ . Also, there is a criticalangle θ ∗ , at which coincidence will occur, for any frequency above the criticalfrequency.Figure 12.5 contains a plot of critical frequencies against thickness for a numberof common construction materials. It must be realized that the critical frequencyFigure 12.5. Thickness versus critical frequency for a number of construction materials.(Source: Brüel and Kjær, 1980)
