Abstract

The permittivity and permeability of five materials were measured during a comparison of the stripline resonator cavity technique. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) organized this intercomparison in which a total of seven organizations participated. Each participant measured two dielectric materials and three magnetic materials. Results for this comparison suggest that when the stripline resonator is used, dielectric property measurements are not as accurate as magnetic property measurements, provided that a correction for demagnetization is made. The results are compared to 7 mm coaxial transmission line measurements which have an uncertainty of less than 10% for the relative permittivity, ε_r´<15
