A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the com-plex dielectric constant of isotr

Within this standard, SI units are shown in brackets.The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,

4、 each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in noncon-formance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard t

5、o establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Test Method2.1 In an isotropic dielectric medium with a steady electricfield, E, the electric displacement, D, is given by the equation:D 5 ke0E (1)where:e0= per

6、mittivity of free space andk = dielectric constant. If the medium is subjected to analternating electric field, the electric displacement isnot necessarily in phase with the field. This fact maybe expressed mathematically by taking k as a complexquantity. If we write k = k 8 jk 9, the imaginary part

7、,k9, determines the dissipation in the medium.2.2 This test method uses a cavity perturbation technique asa means of separating electric from magnetic effects. Quanti-ties that must be measured are the resonance frequency, f,ofthe cavity with and without the sample, the loaded Q of thecavity with an

8、d without the specimen, and the cavity andspecimen dimensions.2.3 The specimen is in the form of a rod and is placedparallel to the microwave electric field in a region of substan-tially uniform electric and zero microwave magnetic fields.The perturbation theory requires that the diameter of thesamp

9、le rod be small compared to one quarter of the wavelengthof the microwave radiation in the specimen. Estimation of thiswavelength requires knowledge of the permittivity, e = ke0, andpermeability, , of the specimen under the conditions ofmeasurement. The wavelength, l, in the specimen is given bythe

10、equation:l51/f 8e!1/2(2)For many ferrites, may be taken equal to 0, the perme-ability of empty space, without serious error. The permittivity,e, is determined by measurement as described below; afterobtaining a value of e, it is necessary to ascertain with the aidof Eq 1 that the sample diameter is

11、sufficiently small.2.4 This test method is not suitable for materials with losstangents $0.1, with the loss tangent defined as tan d = k 9/k 8.2.5 The results of the perturbation theory calculation may beexpressed in the form:df/f 5 2k 2 1! |MivsEoEidv#/2|MivcEo!2dv (3)where:f = f 8 +jf8/2Q;Q = load

12、ed Q of the cavity;vs= specimen volume contained within the cavity,in.3mm3;vc= cavity volume, in.3mm3; andE = microwave electric field strength.The superscript o refers to fields in the empty cavity and thesuperscript i refers to fields inside the specimen.2.6 A specific cavity suitable for this tes

13、t method is a TE10nrectangular cavity,2where n is odd. With the rod runningcompletely across the cavity at the center, Eq 2 for df/f can bereduced to the following:df 8/f 8 522k 8 2 1!vs/vc!; d 1/Q! 5 4k 9vs/vc!

Significance and Use3.1 This test method can be used to evaluate batch type orcontinuous production of material for use in microwaveapplications. It may be used to determine th

19、r manufacturingthe material.4. Apparatus4.1 Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the equipment requiredfor the measurement. Power from a suitable unmodulated oramplitude modulated microwave source, A, is run through avariable attenuator, D, and kept at a constant level throughoutthe measurement with the

20、 aid of a directional coupler, E,acrystal detector, and a power-indicating meter, F. This constantpower is run through a precision variable attenuator, G,tothecavity, H, and the cavity output power is detected and indicatedon a suitable meter, I.5. Test Specimen and Cavity5.1 The specimen shall be i

21、n the form of a rod. It is insertedin a transmission-type cavity so that the axis of the rod is alonga line of constant microwave electric field and zero microwavemagnetic field. The ends of the rod shall pass through holes inboth cavity walls.5.2 The rod diameter shall be 0.041 + 0.000, 0.002 in.0.

22、10 + 0.00, 0.05 mm at X-band unless this violates theconditions of 2.3.5.3 The input and output lines of this cavity shall be madeto appear as matched loads by the appropriate use of pads orisolators.5.4 The TE10ncavity (n odd and 3 or greater) shall beresonant between 9000 and 10 000 MHz for the X-

23、bandmeasurement. The loaded Q of the empty cavity shall begreater than 2000 (Note 1). The holes through which the ferritepasses shall be 0.042 + 0.002, 0.000 in. 0.11 + 0.05, 0.00mm in diameter. The dimensions of a typical cavity, operatingin the TE103mode, are shown in Fig. 2.NOTE 1High Qs are obta

24、inable by using waveguide and end plates ofoxygen-free high-conductivity copper or by silver plating.6. Procedure6.1 Introduce an attenuation of 3 dB with the precisionattenuator. Without the specimen in the cavity, adjust themicrowave frequency to cavity resonance, as indicated bymaximum power outp

25、ut with respect to frequency variation.Note the indication of the output power level and measure theresonant frequency, f 8, with a wavemeter or other suitablemeans at B. Remove the 3 dB of attenuation and locate the twofrequencies at which the output power is the same as at cavityresonance with the

26、 3-dB attenuation in. Determine the separa-tion in frequency of these two half-power points at B by aheterodyning technique using a frequency stabilized source, C.The loaded Q of the cavity is then given by f 8/Df 81/2 where Df 81/2 is the frequency separation of the half-power points.6.2 Alternativ

27、ely, instead of the 3 dB of attenuation speci-fied above, a larger amount, a decibels, may be used. If Df 8 isthe separation of the two frequencies at which the output powerwithout attenuation is the same as the output power at cavityresonance with the a decibels of attenuation inserted, the Q isgiv

28、en by the equation:Q 5 f 8/Df 8! =10a/102 1(6)6.3 By choosing a value of a sufficiently large, it is possibleto make the measurement of df 8 with a precision wavemeter,eliminating the need of the heterodyning technique.6.4 Position the specimen in the cavity and then repeat themeasurements of f 8 an

29、d Q. The change in f 8 (a negativeFIG. 1 Schematic Diagram of Equipment Required for Measurement of Complex Dielectric ConstantA 893/A 893M 032quantity) is the desired df 8, and the change in 1/Q is the desiredd (1/Q). Nonzero microwave magnetic field at the specimencan introduce magnetic loss into

30、this measurement. A suitablemagnetic bias can be applied to the ferrite to avoid this losscontribution. The measurement of dielectric loss tangent mustbe independent of the applied magnetic field.6.5 The recommended standard test temperature is 25 65C.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the values of k 8 an

31、d k 9 by means of Eq 3.Obtain the loss tangent, as defined in 2.4, from these values ofk 8 and k 9.8. Report8.1 The report shall include the following:8.1.1 Values of k 8 and loss tangent,8.1.2 Temperature of the material during the measurement,8.1.3 Frequency at which the measurement was made,8.1.4

32、 Specimen diameter, and8.1.5 Unique identity of the specimen.9. Precision and Bias9.1 The bias of the measurements shall be such that the errorcontributed to k 8 will be within 63 % and the error contributedto the loss tangent will be within 60.001 or 65 %, whicheveris greater.10.
