Description

A method is presented to measure materials and extract the complex permittivity without using classic VNA calibrations and time-gating. It is based on normalization to a "Thru" connection and analyzing error-terms and multiple-reflection phenomena. Measurement results (in free-space) are presented in 75-110 GHz and 500-750 GHz bands. Normalization technique can reduce the overall measurement uncertainties and simplify the material characterization process.
