Kh. Baek et al., A 3-POSITION TRANSMISSION REFLECTION METHOD FOR MEASURING THE PERMITTIVITY OF LOW-LOSS MATERIALS, IEEE microwave and guided wave letters, 5(1), 1995, pp. 3-5
A 3-position transmission/reflection method for measuring the permitti
vity of low loss materials is presented. In this method, the measureme
nt errors of the permittivity due to 1) the mismatch at the connection
s, 2) the metallic loss of the holder, 3) the uncertainty of sample po
sition in the airline, and 4) the imperfection of the calibration kit
can be removed by the measured data for a sample at three different po
sitions. Experimental results for a low loss engineering plastic (tan
delta congruent-to 0.025) are included.
