Frequency domain complex permittivity measurements at microwave frequencies

Overview of frequency domain measurement techniques of the complex permittivity at microwave frequencies is presented. The methods are divided into two categories: resonant and non-resonant ones. In the first category several methods are discussed such as cavity resonator techniques, dielectric resonator techniques, open resonator techniques and resonators for non-destructive testing. The general theory of measurements of different materials in resonant structures is presented showing mathematical background, sources of uncertainties and theoretical and experimental limits. Methods of measurement of anisotropic materials are presented. In the second category, transmission–reflection techniques are overviewed including transmission line cells as well as free-space techniques.
