E. Semouchkina et al., High frequency permittivity determination by spectra simulation and measurement of microstrip ring resonators, ELECTR LETT, 36(11), 2000, pp. 956-958
The S-21 spectra of microstrip ring resonators have been measured experimen
tally and also computed using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) meth
od. The dielectric constant of the substrate was determined by fitting the
simulation results to the experimental data. The results are more self-cons
istent than those obtained using the Wheeler-Hammerstad method.
