Abstract

A very high broadband method for determining the electromagnetic properties of isotropic film‐shaped materials, which uses coplanar lines as cells, is presented. The material tested is the coplanar line substrate. The complex properties are computed from S‐parameter measurements of coplanar cells propagating the dominant mode and using analytical relationships, which decrease the computation time. Vector network analyzers and high‐quality on‐coplanar test fixtures are used for the measurement bench. Measurements for several dielectric materials in the 0.05–110 GHz frequency range show good agreements between measured and predicted data. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
