Millimeter-Wave Characterization of Dielectric Materials Using Calibrated FMCW Transceivers

Abstract: This paper presents a measurement setup, an extraction algorithm, and the results from material characterization measurements in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) regime using ultrawideband frequency-modulated continuouswave (FMCW) radar transceivers. The complex permittivity of dielectric and nonmagnetic materials is derived from radar echoes using a high-gain dielectric lens antenna setup and a measurement setup comprising elliptic mirrors. The radar transceivers perform fast and accurate measurements from 200 t… Show more

“…To counter this shortcoming, we included an optimized modification of the iterative TMM to our model, which describes the effects of complete wave propagation and enables an efficient implementation on graphics processing units. While we use simple brute force optimizations for our calculations, the implementation of more advanced optimization algorithms, such as in [14,15,16], can reduce the calculation time even further. We verified the suitability of our approach by validating the obtained measurement results with a set of well-defined calibration plates.…”

“…An alternative to VNA measurements with discrete frequency steps are millimeter-wave frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar measurements. Such an approach was presented recently for the characterization of single-layer dielectrics in [16]. Especially concerning industrial applications, millimeter-wave and terahertz FMCW transceivers can provide kilohertz measurement rates at a high level of integration [17].…”

“…Meanwhile, the academia as well as industry are reviewing how this emerging terahertz eld might be implemented in a variety of real world applications by sharing their experimental database to the world, ranging from the materials' dielectric properties [10], material surface textures [11] and the molecular spectroscopic database [12]. To measure material spectroscopic responses, the state-of-theart THz systems based on time-domain and frequency-domain methods are classied as follows: (i) THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) systems [7]; (ii) THz quasi time-domain spectroscopy (THz QTDS) systems [13]; (iii) continuous wave THz (cw THz) systems [14]; and (iv) frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar transceiver systems [15]. However, each method is conned to specic frequencies, materials and applications in its own constraint.…”
