"Conductivity of the medium" usually means the insulating material that fills the empty space of the waveguide or coaxial cable, it's not the conductivity of the metal that the waveguide is made of. Skin effect would be in addition to this effect of the insulator but is usually not the largest source of attenuation of many technically utilized cables. | |
