Possibly more so now than any time in the past, there are new microwave and millimeter-wave technologies with features and functions that are both higher performance and more diverse than previous technologies. These new technologies are the result of emerging...
In the previous blogs in this series, the basics of dielectric measurement with RF equipment was discussed. This also included a highlight of two common methods of dielectric characterization using VNAs, transmission/reflection line method and Open-ended coaxial probe...
In the previous post, the basics of dielectric material properties were discussed as well as a few possible applications of RF dielectrics. This week’s post will focus on common RF dielectric material characteristic measurement techniques. Namely, the transmission...
Delectric materials are used in nearly all RF and microwave structures, outside of those that are strictly made of conductors. Dielectrics are crucial for making transmission lines, dielectric waveguides, and separating conductors. Given that the properties of planar...
