  1. The value shows the average of 5 points below and 5 points above each frequency (e.g., the average of the permittivity from 1.984–2.018 GHz in the case of 2 GHz)
  2. In the case of 6 GHz, it is averaged with the 10 points only below the frequency (i.e., the average of the permittivity from 5.966–6.000 GHz)
