  • Abstract
    The knowledge of electrical material parameters for microwave frequencies is of great importance for several applications, e.g. microwave remote sensing and wave propagation. Therefore high precision transmission and reflection measurements on material samples are necessary. In the case of layered media the determination of effective material parameters is aspired. The existing free space measurement facilities of the Institute are presented. Experimental results on flat samples are shown.
