Abstract

Most of the algorithms for cavity dielectric measurements use a full network frequency scan for the perturbation method. At high temperature the measurement points in one frequency scan will have different temperatures due to the fast cooling of the sample inside the cold cavity. This paper presents a new approach for the perturbation method to measure dielectric constants at high temperatures with a two port, two piston cylindrical cavity and external furnace. Special features of this cavity are the possibility to work with different modes and different relative positions of the coupling aperture.

The dielectric properties are extracted from the full sets of S-parameters for two successive frequency points corresponding to approximately the same temperatures. An extraction algorithm is developed and programmed.
