Measuring Dielectric Properties of Lossy and Low Loss Materials
Using our High-Q cavities, we can measure complex permittivity and permeability on most microwave dielectrics. These tests are performed per ASTM-2520. The photos below show our 3.0 GHz. and a 10.0 GHz. cavities.
ESS also offers other methods to determine material properties. Depending on the frequency and material properties, S11, S21 and even capacitive coupling techniques are used to calculate the effective dielectric and magnetic properties of a wide variety of materials.
We can accommodate most any customer supplied geometry or material. Contact ESS for more information on the best method to test your materials.
