Abstract

A new inverse measuring technique that corrects non-desired sample displacements and can handle any kind of sample shapes is presented. It is applied to the estimation of permittivity and permeability of Poly-(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene)-maghnite (PEDOT-Mag) associated with different additives such as iron, copper, and hydrogen. This electromagnetic characterization has been performed over the 9 to 11 GHz frequency range by comparing the simulated and measured scattering parameters of a partially filled WR-90 waveguide. Additionally, the reflection, absorption multiple reflection losses and the shielding effectiveness of these materials have been calculated. Results show higher values of dielectric constant and loss factor for PEDOT-Mag-copper, than those compounds associated with hydrogen or iron. As expected, the highest permeability values are achieved by PEDOT-Mag-iron. The composite PEDOT-Mag-copper exhibits higher attenuation constant, absorption loss, multiple reflection loss and shielding efficiency values than composites associated with iron or hydrogen. PEDOT-Mag-hydrogen, however, shows the highest reflection loss values.
