## Abstract A simple yet powerful method is proposed for removing the multiple solutions problem in the complex permittivity, ϵ, determination from measured transmission scattering (S‐) parameter measurements of lossy materials. The method uses amplitude‐only measurements at two slightly separated

Abstract
In nonresonant broadband measurements, thin samples do not fill the entire sample holder (a waveguide or coaxial‐line section). In this circumstance, the measured scattering parameters have to be transformed from the calibration plane to the sample end surfaces. Furthermore, it is always attractive to measure the complex permittivity of materials with no prior information of their thickness. This article proposes a simple but powerful method to eliminate the dependency of both the calibration plane and the sample thickness on permittivity measurements of thin nondispersive materials. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

output power is lower, as predicted by both approaches. When the reflectivity is small, the oscillation energy is small. Thus, the lasing wavelength has a lower number of photons available for feedback and energy accumulation. At higher reflectivities, although the energy within the cavity is large,
## Abstract For in situ measurement of the complex permittivity of planar materials, a free‐space system based on reflection or transmission ellipsometry has been developed and extended to microwave frequencies. Different angles of incidence were studied in the range [35–50°]. Original numerical me
