Abstract

When performing electromagnetic material characteriza- tion, an error analysis should be performed to determine the sensitivity of the extracted permittivity and permeability. Traditional error anal- ysis methods such as the error propagation method and Monte Carlo simulations can pose di-culties when analyzing free space material characterization methods. This paper thus shows how interval analy- sis can be implemented to perform error analysis on free space material characterization methods and provide an alternate means to perform error analysis. Background is presented on interval representations and interval functions, and a procedure for performing error analysis with interval analysis is presented. An error analysis is performed on the free space implementation of the layer-shift method with interval analysis and the subsequent standard deviations computed with inter- val analysis are compared to standard deviations computed through Monte Carlo simulation.
