Dielectric and Magnetic Measurements: A Survey of Nondestructive, Quasi-Nondestructive, and Process-Control Techniques

Abstract

Abstract A review of the most common methods for nondestructive permittivity and permeability measurements is presented. Transmission-line techniques, coaxial apertures, open resonators, surface-waves, and dielectric resonator methods are examined. Measurements on bulk, thin materials, and thin films are addressed. Measurement fixtures that can be used as sensors are highlighted. The frequency range of applicability and typical uncertainties associated with each method are addressed.
