Dielectric constant and loss measurements at microwave frequencies

Abstract

Primarily, this paper presents a survey of the more frequently used techniques for determining both the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of solid dielectric materials at test frequencies which fall within the 10 Gc to 80 Gc range. The methods described are most applicable to the measurement of dielectric constant values from 2.00 to 12.00 and loss tangent values from 0.0001 to 0.1000.
