Abstract

This paper discusses the techniques that are available for characterising circuit materials at microwave and millimetre wave frequencies. In particular, the paper focuses on a new technique for measuring the loss tangent of substrates at mm-wave frequencies using a circular resonant cavity. The benefits of the new technique are that it is simple, low cost, capable of good accuracy and has the potential to work at high mm-wave frequencies.
