Abstract :
The authors are concerned specifically with the methodology and implementation of an instrument able to measure the complex permittivity of solids over 13 decades of frequency (10-5 Hz to 105 Hz) at temperatures between -185°C and 400°C. They conclude that the optimum methodology at the present time for a sub-gigahertz spectrometer is the balanced capacitor bridge. Operation is necessarily in the frequency domain
