Parameters Characterization of Dielectric Materials Samples in Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Bands (original) (raw)
2021
In this work, an optimized broadband method using multilayer transmission lines to characterize dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of material samples is presented. For this purpose, a microstrip line loaded with a piece of the selected dielectric to be characterized is used. From two-port measurements, and using different length lines, the propagation constant can be obtained. To minimize random errors and to improve the accuracy, an overdetermination of the method increasing the number of lines measured and a criterion to choose the optimal line lengths is considered. First, the measurement method itself is applied to uncovered microstrip lines and an accurate model of the substrate is obtained. Second, the lines are covered with several materials, made by fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing technique, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), copolyester (CPE), F...

Study on the Measurements Techniques of Microwave Dielectric Properties
A general review and comparison on two types widely adopted measurement techniques of dielectric constant and dielectric loss at microwave frequencies has been undertaken. Characteristics of various transmission/reflection techniques and resonance techniques are compared with each other. Suggestions on how to select adequate measurement techniques of microwave dielectric properties are given. The resonance techniques are better choice for low loss measurements but lack of the swept frequency capability. The transmission/reflection techniques have the measurement characteristic of frequency sweeping, but limited on the loss tangent measurement accuracy. To confirm the accuracy of research, practical measurements by some chosen methods are made and the results are compared.
Evaluation of Microwave Characterization Methods for Additively Manufactured Materials
Designs, 2019
Additive manufacturing (AM) has become more important and common in recent years. Advantages of AM include the ability to rapidly design and fabricate samples much faster than traditional manufacturing processes and to create complex internal geometries. Materials are crucial components of microwave systems and proper and accurate measurement of their dielectric properties is important to aid a high level of accuracy in design. There are numerous measurement techniques and finding the most appropriate method is important and requires consideration of all different factors and limitations. One limitation of sample preparation is that the sample size needs to fit in the measurement method. By utilizing the advantage of additive manufacturing, the material can be characterized using different measurement methods. In this paper, the additive manufacturing process and dielectric measurement methods have been critically reviewed. The test specimens for measuring dielectric properties were...
