Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure

3、for determiningrelative complex permittivity (relative dielectric constant andloss index) and relative magnetic permeability of isotropic,reciprocal (nongyromagnetic) solid materials. If the material isnonmagnetic, this procedure may be used to measure permit-tivity only.1.2 This measurement method

4、is valid over a frequencyrange of approximately 1 MHz to 50 GHz. These limits are notexact and depend on the size of the specimen, the size and typeof transmission line used as a specimen holder, and on theapplicable frequency range of the network analyzer used tomake measurements. The lower frequen

5、cy is limited by thesmallest measurable phase shift through a specimen, and theupper frequency limit is determined by the excitation ofhigher-order modes that invalidates the dominant-mode trans-mission line model. Any number of discrete measurementfrequencies may be selected in this frequency range

6、. Toachieve maximum measurement accuracy, use of differenttransmission line sizes and types may be required. For ex-ample, use of a 7-mm diameter coaxial geometry can providefor measurements from 1 MHz to 18 GHz. However, air gapsthat exist between the specimen and the transmission linesconductors i

Summary of Test Method4.1 A carefully machined test specimen is placed in anelectromagnetic transmission line and connected to a calibratednetwork analyzer that is used to measure the S-parameters ofthe transmission line-with-specimen. A specified

29、 data-reduction algorithm is then used to calculate permittivity andpermeability. If the material is nonmagnetic a different algo-rithm is used to calculate permittivity only. Error correctionsare then applied to compensate for the existence of air gapsbetween the specimen and the transmission lines

30、 conductors.5. Significance and Use5.1 Design calculations for Radio Frequency (RF), micro-wave and millimeter-wave components require the knowledgeof values of complex permittivity and permeability at operatingfrequencies. This test method is useful for evaluating batchtype or continuous production

Interferences6.1 The upper limits of permittivity and permeability thatcan be measured using this test method are restricted by

32、 thetransmission line and specimen geometries. No specific limitsare given in this standard, but this test method is practicallylimited to low-to-medium values of permittivity and perme-ability.

Minor differences concerning the connector existif other transmission line configurations are used. All otheraspects of this procedure remain the same.10.2 Calibratio

34、n Verification:10.2.1 Connect the empty specimen holder between Ports 1and 2.10.2.2 Measure the scattering parameters of the emptyspecimen holder.10.2.3 Calculate the permittivity of air from the measuredscattering parameters, as described in the section on calcula-tion. Use a specimen length equal

35、to the physical length of thespecimen holder. If a method described in Appendix X2 is usedto remove specimen holder conductor losses, use the appropri-ate specimen length, as described. To verify the calibration, thereal part of permittivity for air should be 1.001 6 0.001.10.3 Specimen Measurement:

36、10.3.1 Slide specimen about halfway onto the Port 1 side ofthe center conductor. Be careful not to chip the edges of thespecimens bore hole when inserting the center conductor.10.3.2 Note how the specimen fits on the center conductor(loose, snug, tight, loose at first, then tight, etc). This subject

37、iveobservation helps the operator to determine the dimensionalqualities of the specimen, and can aid in repeating themeasurement.10.3.3 Retract the connector threads at both ends of thespecimen holder, if applicable.10.3.4 Slide the specimen and center conductor into theouter conductor. Note how the

38、 specimen fits into the outerconductor. Leave the specimen sticking out of the Port 1 sideabout halfway.10.3.5 Connect one end of the specimen holder to Port 2.10.3.6 Bring the Port 1 connector and the Port 1 end of thespecimen holder together in left hand, holding them slightlyapart.10.3.7 Use the

39、end of a wood or plastic small-diameterdowel to push the specimen flush with the Port 1 referenceplane. If the data-reduction algorithm to be used is notdependent on the specimen location, special care in making thespecimen flush with the Port 1 reference plane is not necessary.Note the approximate

40、location of the specimen relative to thePort 1 end of the specimen holder.10.3.8 Slowly connect the Port 1 connectors. Look to makesure that the specimen does not protrude into the Port 1test-cable connector. Tighten both Port 1 and Port 2 connectorswith the proper torque wrench.FIG. 2 Typical Dimen

Disconnect the Port 2 cable from the specimen holder.10.3.11 Remove the specimen from the Port 1 side of thespecimen holder by pushing out the center cond

43、uctor from thePort 2 side. Push the center conductor straight out, withoutapplying lateral forces that may bend the center conductor anddamage the specimen. Be careful that the specimen does notbind or twist.10.4 Reverify CalibrationMeasure the permittivity of airin the empty specimen holder at the

44、beginning and end ofspecimen measurements and prior to any measurement whenmore than 2 h has lapsed since the previous air measurement.11. Calculation11.1 The selection of data reduction algorithm for calcula-tion of material characteristics depends on whether the materialis magnetic or nonmagnetic.

45、 In both of the following algo-rithms, specimen location is not critical. That is, the location ofthe specimen does not enter the solution.11.2 The general procedure for both algorithms is to firstgenerate initial estimates at all frequencies for permittivity (andpermeability) using an explicit solu

46、tion, and then to refine theinitial estimates with an iterative technique. There are manypossible solutions to the equations being used, and an initialestimate is necessary so as to select the proper root. Initialestimate calculation is not necessary if good permittivity andpermeability estimates ar

47、e available. One can determine if theinitial estimates are reasonable by the stability of permittivityand permeability results. If the initial estimates start theiterative calculation on the wrong root, the calculated resultstend to vary up and down and sometimes jump suddenly toanother root. A set

48、of equations relating scattering parametersand specimen length, permittivity and permeability is given asfollows:5F 5 S11S222 S21S125 exp $ 22g0Lair2 L!%G22 Z21 2G2Z2(6)G 5 S211 S12!/2 5 exp$2g0Lair2 L!%Z1 2G2!1 2G2Z2(7)11.2.1 Initial Estimate for Magnetic MaterialsIf a goodinitial estimate for perm

49、ittivity and permeability for eachfrequency is available, the calculations detailed in this sectionare not necessary. At each measured frequency, a solutionsimilar to that described by Nicholson and Ross6and by Weir7for permittivity and permeability can be derived from (Eq 6)and (Eq 7) as follows:*NRW51 1G21 1G21g0Lln Z 1 j2pn!.
