Abstract
A simple yet powerful calibrationโindependent method is proposed for complex permittivity extraction of dielectric materials. There are two main features of the method as follows: (a) it decreases any uncertainty arising from using a second (extra) sample and (b) it does not require precise location of the sample within its cell (a waveguide or coaxialโline section). The disadvantage of the method is that it may produce some singularity points while extracting the complex permittivity from measurements. We validated the method by calibrated and uncalibrated complex scattering parameter measurements of a polyvinylโchloride (PVC) sample at Xโband (8.2โ12.4 GHz). ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract There is a need for a method for the performance evaluation of calibrationโindependent measurements of dielectric materials located into a measurement cell (a coaxial or waveguide section) before starting the extraction of the complex permittivity of the sample. This is important since
the ACPS-ring magic-T. The maximum amplitude imbalance of the former is about 1.05 dB and occurs around the high end of the frequency band, while that of the latter is 0.82 dB and also located in the high end. This power-level difference at the high-frequency region is mainly due to the fabrication
