RF Materials Characterization Metrology at NBS/NIST: Past and Recent Work, Future Directions and Challenges

Published

Author(s)

James R. Baker-Jarvis

Abstract

This paper is an overview on the RF materials characterization metrology at NBS/NIST. Over the years, measurements on the electrical permittivity and permeability as functions of frequency and temperature have been crucial for a wide array of applications. Characterization of these parameters has been instrumental in development of electromagnetic shielding materials, wireless communications circuitry, medical applications, and microelectronics.
