Abstract in Undetermined
We present a method aimed at reducing uncertainties and instabilities when characterizing materials in waveguide setups. The method is based on measuring the S parameters for three different orientations of a rectangular sample block in a rectangular waveguide. The corresponding geometries are modeled in a commercial full-wave simulation program, taking any material parameters as input. The material parameters of the sample are found by minimizing the squared distance between measured and calculated S parameters. The information added by the different sample orientations is quantified using the Cramer-Rao lower bound. The flexibility of the method allows the determination of material parameters of an arbitrarily shaped sample that fits in the waveguide.
