Extract

There is considerable recent interest in the dielectric properties of materials measured over broad electrical bandwidths. This follows from advances made in the performance of electronic devices which now produce pulses with risetimes in the order of 5 picoseconds. It is essential to know the dielectric constants and loss properties of the materials used in fabricating these devices and their interconnection structures, up to frequencies of about 100 GHz. Moreover, such information will be invaluable for the effective use of microwaves in materials processing [1]. The curing of polymers and the sintering of ceramics are two examples. Here, we discuss the recently developed coherent microwave transient spectroscopy (COMITS) technique which measures the complex dielectric constants of materials, from 10 GHz to about 125 GHz, in a single experiment [2,3].
