The object of this International Standard is to describe a measurement method of dielectric
properties in the planar direction of dielectric plate at microwave frequency. This method is
called a cavity resonator method. It has been created in order to develop new materials and to
design microwave active and passive devices for which standardization of measurement
methods of material properties is more and more important.
This method has the following characteristics:
? the relative permittivity ε ' and loss tangent tanδ values of a dielectric plate sample can be
measured accurately and non-destructively;
? temperature dependence of complex permittivity can be measured;
? the measurement accuracy is within 0,3 % for ε ' and within 5×10 for tanδ ;
? fringing effect is corrected using correction charts calculated on the basis of rigorous
analysis.
This method is applicable for the measurements on the following condition:
– frequency : 2 GHz < f < 40 GHz;
– relative permittivity: 2 < ε ' < 100;
– loss tangent : 10 < tanδ < 10.
