If the material is nonmagnetic, it isacceptable to use this procedure to measure permittivity only.1.2 This measurement method

4、 is valid over a frequency range of approximately 100 MHz to over 2040 GHz. These limits arenot exact and depend on the size of the specimen, the size of rectangular waveguide transmission line used as a specimen holder,and on the applicable frequency range of the network analyzer used to make measu

5、rements. The practical lower and upperfrequencies are limited by specimen dimension requirements (large specimens at low frequencies and small specimens at highfrequencies). size of specimen dimension is limited by test frequency, intrinsic specimen electromagnetism properties, and therequest of alg

Use of multiple rectangular waveguide transmission line sizes are required to cover thisentire frequency range (100 MHz to 2040 GHz). This test method can also

21、of symbols specific to this test method is given in Annex A1.3.3.2 calibration, na procedure for connecting characterized standard devices to the test ports of a network analyzer tocharacterize the measurement systems systematic errors. The effects of the systematic errors are then mathematically re

22、movedfrom the indicated measurements. The calibration also establishes the mathematical reference plane for the measurement test ports.3.3.2.1 DiscussionModern network analyzers have this capability built in. There are a variety of calibration kits that can be used depending on thetype of test port.

23、 The models used to predict the measurement response of the calibration devices depends on the type of calibrationkit. Most calibration kits come with media that can be used to load the definitions of the calibration devices into the networkanalyzer. Calibration kit definitions loaded into the netwo

24、rk analyzer must match the devices used to calibrate. Since bothtransmission and reflection measurements are used in this standard, a two-port calibration is required.3.3.3 network analyzer, na system that measures the two-port transmission and one-port reflection characteristics of amultiport syste

27、 a single port.3.3.4.1 DiscussionAs most commonly used, these coefficients represent the quotient of the complex electric field strength (or voltage) of a reflectedor transmitted wave divided by that of an incident wave. The subscripts i and j of a typical coefficient Sij refer to the output andinpu

28、t ports, respectively. For example, the forward transmission coefficient S21 is the ratio of the transmitted wave voltage atReference Plane 2 (Port 2) divided by the incident wave voltage measured at Reference Plane 1 (Port 1). Similarly, the Port 1reflection coefficient S11 is the ratio of the Port

Summary of Test Method4.1 A carefully machined test specimen is placed in an electromagnetic waveguide transmission line and connected to aca

32、librated network analyzer that is used to measure the S-parameters of the transmission line-with-specimen. A specifieddata-reduction algorithm is then used to calculate permittivity and permeability. If the material is nonmagnetic a different algorithmis used to calculate permittivity only. Error co

33、rrections are then applied to compensate for air gaps between the specimen and thetransmission line conductor surfaces.5. Significance and Use5.1 Design calculations for radio frequency (RF), microwave, and millimetre-wave components require the knowledge of valuesof complex permittivity and permeab

34、ility at operating frequencies. This test method is useful for evaluating small experimentalbatch or continuous production materials used in electromagnetic applications. Use this method to determine complex permittivityonly (in non-magnetic materials)materials), or both complex permittivity and per

35、meability simultaneously.6. Interferences6.1 The upper limits of permittivity and permeability that can be measured using this test method are restricted by thetransmission line and specimen geometries, which can lead to unwanted higher order waveguide modes. In addition, excessiveelectromagnetic at

36、tenuation due to a high loss factor within the test specimen can prevent determination of permittivity andpermeability. No specific limits are given in this standard, but this test method is practically limited to low-to-medium values ofpermittivity and permeability.6.2 The existence of air gaps bet

37、ween the test specimen and the transmission line introduces a negative bias into measurementsof permittivity and permeability. In this test method compensation for this bias is required, and to do so requires knowledge of theair gap sizes. Air gap sizes are estimated from dimensional measurements of

38、 the specimen and the specimen holder, which can bemeasured with micrometers, feeler gauges, or other precision instruments. Several different error correction models have beendeveloped, and a frequency independent series capacitor model is described in AnnexA2.Air gap corrections are only approxima

39、teand therefore this test method is practically limited to low-to-medium values of permittivity and permeability.7. Apparatus7.1 Experimental Test FixtureThe test fixture includes a specimen holder connected to a network analyzer, as shown in Fig.1.7.2 Network AnalyzerThe network analyzer needs a fu

40、ll 2-port test set that can measure transmission and reflection scatteringparameters. Use a network analyzer that has a synthesized signal generator in order to ensure good frequency stability and signalpurity.D5568 1437.3 Waveguide Calibration KitTo define Port 1 and Port 2 measurement reference pl

41、anes, calibration of the waveguide testfixture is required.Acalibration kit consists of well-characterized standard devices and mathematical models of those devices. Usea through-reflect-line (TRL), an open-short-load-through (OSLT), or any other calibration kit that yields similar calibration quali

42、tyto calibrate the waveguide test fixture.7.4 Specimen Holder:7.4.1 Because parameters such as specimen holder length and cross-sectional dimensions are of critical importance to thecalculation of permittivity and permeability, carefully measure and characterize the physical dimensions of the specim

43、en holder.7.4.2 If a separate length of transmission line is used to hold the specimen, ensure that that empty length of line is also in placeduring calibration of the specimen holder.7.4.3 The theoretical model used for this test method assumes that only the dominant mode of propagation exists (TE1

44、0 forrectangular waveguide or TE11 for circular waveguide). The existence of higher-order modes restricts the measurable bandwidthfor a given waveguide test fixture.7.4.4 Be sure that the specimen holder dimensions are within proper tolerances for the waveguide transmission line size in use.For an X

Proper tolerances are then:X-band waveguide width:a 522.8660.10 mm 0.90060.004 in.! (3)X-band waveguide height:b 510.1660.10 mm 0.90060.004 in.! (4)7.4.4.1 Dimensions an

46、d tolerances of other standard waveguides are in the appropriate manufacturers specifications and U.S.military specifications.38. Test Specimen8.1 Make the test specimen long enough to ensure good alignment inside the holder. Also, make the test specimen long enoughto ensure that the phase shift thr

47、ough the specimen is much greater than the phase measurement uncertainty of the network analyzerat the lowest measurement frequency. If a specimen is expected to have low loss, sufficient length is also required to ensureaccurate determination of the loss factor. Finally, for high loss specimens, th

48、e specimen length cannot be so long that high insertionloss prevents material property inversion.8.2 Accurately machine the specimen so that its dimensions minimize the air gap that exists between the conductor surfaces andthe specimen. In this respect, measure the specimen holders dimensions in ord

49、er to specify the tightest tolerances possible forspecimen preparation. Keep physical variations of specimen dimensions as small as is practicable and include specimendimensions and uncertainties in the report.3 MIL-DTL-85/1F, 20 November 1998.FIG. 1 Diagram of Experimental FixtureD5568 1449.
