Abstract
This paper developed a method for more accurate permittivity extraction of high-loss materials using the waveguide method to reduce the effect of the air gap. This method improves the Baker-Jarvis algorithm. It makes the errors of S-parameters caused by the air gap compensated by a correction factor β of the form: (S21 + S12) + β(S11 + S22). In our study, the correction results of β for materials on different frequencies and air gap sizes are quantitatively investigated. Furthermore, we propose a method to obtain an optimal frequency-independent β for different materials. A typical high-loss BeO-SiC ceramic commonly used in vacuum electron tubes is analyzed and discussed in detail. It shows that compared to traditionally utilizing only S21 (β = 0), adopting an optimal β can reduce the average errors of the complex permittivity from 17.7% to 7.9% with a 0.10 mm air gap. The proposed method is verified by measurements of unshaved and shaved samples.
