Abstract :
A technique is proposed for determining the complex permittivity and permeability of material samples placed in a transmission line sample holder. The proposed technique is based on fitting the material properties to polynomials. The technique is immune to several of the shortcomings of traditional techniques, in particular the popular technique proposed by Nicolson and Ross. Examples of determining the material properties of several materials are given.
