Free-space measurement of complex permittivity and complex permeability of polar and non-polar rubber composites at microwave frequency / Mohd Fiza Abdul Majid

This project involves a free-space measurement system operating in the 7.5-12.5 GHz frequency range to measure the reflection and transmission coefficients, Sn and S21, of planar samples. It involves measurements of the dielectric constant, loss factor and loss tangent of the rubber composites. The...
