Measurement examples

Free space liquid measurements (26.5 - 330 GHz, ethanol, olive oil)

Overview

The free-space method has the potential to measure a wide variety of samples by modifying the sample holder part. A good example is the evaluation of dielectric constants of liquids in the millimeter wave band.
