[PP2-2-5-1] Material constants

A material constant is a physical or chemical property of a substance, which can be expressed in numbers. Giving a precise numerical value of a constant often requires determining the external conditions (e.g. temperature, humidity). Material constants are factors that influence the interaction of microwaves with the target objects.
