Abstract:In many applications including RF, Microwave dielectric constant (ε r ) of the material is a key design parameter. Present methods for measurement of ε r are time-consuming and require a sample piece of the material on which some processing has to be done (destructive methods). This paper presents a nondestructive and simple method for determining ε r of sheet dielectric materials. The method is nondestructive in the sense that cutting of the material or any processing on it is not required. In this method res… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
