A simple method for the measurement of complex permittivity is presented using an open TEM (Transverse ElectroMagnetic) cell. The scattering parameters of the TEM cell are measured with and without a rectangular sample of the material under interest in the cross section of the cell. Then the principle is to run a FDTD (Finite Differences Time Domain) simulation of the measurement setup and find the complex permittivity of the sample model which minimizes the error between measurement and simulation thanks to an optimization loop. This method provides the complex permittivity of any non-metallic materials between 1 kHz and 200 MHz. The aim of this work is to make a fast parameter extraction to build a 3D simulation model and predict the shielding effectiveness of a complex geometry made of such a material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
