Classes to Measure Artificial Material Parameters Arun Kumar Saha Department of Chemistry & Forensic Science Albany State University, Albany GA 31705AbstractRecently artificial material has attracted the attention of physicists and engineers because of thepotential in creating exotic materials with extraordinary functionalities not available in nature. Itis now foreseeable that this area of research will dominate the science and technology fordecades to come. Therefore, it is critical for academic physicists and engineers to educate futuregenerations of students in these areas to better prepare themselves for next level of opportunities.To understand the

long distance wireless communication.Today, with the advances in digital communication technologies, there is renewed interest in usingHF as a means for long distance wireless communication both as a backup to satellites, and forpolar communication. Thus there is an interest for students and engineers to better understandionospheric propagation. A necessary component for increased understanding and insight is bymeans of empirical testing or in today’s education parlance, in order for one to really understandsky wave, one has to experience it.In subsequent sections of this paper, we will first review the basics of sky wave radio propagationincluding basic optic theory and how ionization in the E and F layers will deflect radio signals.We then
