نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for measuring dielectric properties of materials. The proposed approach is based on applying the synthetic time domain reflectometry to a dielectric filled waveguide. The compromising measurement results show that this algorithm can be successfully applied for measuring other parameters of the materials. Also, the approach has been successfully applied to detect the discontinuities of as a multi-section microstrip line. This approach is very useful in measuring the electromagnetic parameters of the different liquids, gels, and solid materials.

A Time-Domain Reflectometry Method with Variable Needle Pulse Width for Measuring the Dielectric Properties of Materials
Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) methods used for measuring the dielectric properties of materials mostly utilize step or needle electrical pulses of constant amplitudes and shapes. Our novel approach enables determining the dielectric relaxation time of a sample using the analysis of the amplitudes of reflected pulses of two widths, in addition to bulk dielectric permittivity and electrical con...

متن کاملNanoscale dielectric properties of insulating thin films: from single point measurements to quantitative images.
Dielectric relaxation (DR) has shown to be a very useful technique to study dielectric materials like polymers and other glass formers, giving valuable information about the molecular dynamics of the system at different length and time scales. However, the standard DR techniques have a fundamental limitation: they have no spatial resolution. This is of course not a problem when homogeneous and ...

Several silicate materials were plasma sprayed and characterized by the authors in recent years from the point of view of their chemical and phase compositions, microstructure and mechanical as well as thermal properties. Present work is concerned with selected dielectric properties of these deposits. Synthetic mullite and steatite as well as natural olivine-forsterite were plasma sprayed using...
متن کاملComplex Permittivity Determination from Propagation Constant Measurements
This letter presents a new transmission line method for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric materials using propagation constant measurements. In contrast to previous methods, a network analyzer calibration is unnecessary since calibrated scattering parameters are not required. We use measurements in X-band waveguide to show that this technique compares well with the transmission/r...
