The measurement of the electromagnetic properties of materials using transmission techniques

Abstract

Abstract

This course reviews the techniques for measuring the electromagnetic properties of materials using transmission line techniques. The transmission line could be coaxial, waveguide or free-space. It includes types of samples, frequency ranges, and calculating materials properties from measured s-parameters. A review of the electromagnetic materials properties and their relationship to molecular structure and composition is included in the course. The use and calibration of vector network analyzers, is explained, including the definition of s-parameters. The course includes measurement demonstrations using transmission line techniques.
