Complex Permittivity Determination from Propagation Constant Measurements

چکیده
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/reflection and cylindrical cavity methods.

Permittivity Characterization of Low-k Thin Films From Transmission-Line Measurements
We have developed a broad-band technique for measuring the relative permittivity of lowthin films using microstrip transmission-line measurements. From measurements of the complex microstrip propagation constant and the characteristic impedance, we determined the relative permittivity of thin films incorporated in microstrip lines. We present measurement results to 40 GHz for both an oxide and ...
متن کاملNondestructive sensing of bulk density and moisture content in shelled peanuts from microwave permittivity measurements
Dielectric-based methods were used to determine nondestructively and simultaneously bulk density and moisture content in shelled peanuts from measurement of their relative complex permittivity at microwave frequencies (7–12 GHz) and 24 C. The first method is based on direct relationships between the two components of the relative complex permittivity (dielectric constant and dielectric loss fac...
متن کاملA New Method for Calculating Propagation Modes of a One Dimensional Photonic Crystal (RESEARCH NOTE)
Photonic band-gap (PBG) crystals offer new dimensions of freedom in controlling propagation of electromagnetic waves. The existence of stop-bands in the transmission characteristic of these crystals makes them a suitable element for the realization of many useful microwave and optical subsystems. In this paper, we calculate the propagation constant of a one-dimensional (1-D) photonic crystal by...

In this paper, a new technique for measuring the effective propagation constant of dense random media is presented. This technique involves two major steps: 1) measurement of the mean bistatic scattered field of a cluster of the random medium confined in a spherical boundary and 2) characterization of the complex permittivity for a homogeneous dielectric sphere having identical radius and bista...
متن کاملComplex permittivity measurements at Ka-Band using rectangular dielectric waveguide
The rectangular dielectric waveguide (RDWG) technique has been developed for the determination of the dielectric constant of materials from effective refractive index measurements in the Q and W bands. This paper describes the use of an optimization method in conjunction with the RDWG technique for the determination of both the dielectric constant and loss tangent of materials at Ka-Band. The e...
