Abstract
Routine network analyzer calibration procedures in measurements of the dielectric properties of materials using an open-ended coaxial line probe are frequently inadequate and limit the accuracy of measurements. A calibration method, which makes use of liquids whose properties are well known, is proposed to alleviate this limitation. It is shown that even one liquid used as a standard in place of a matched load greatly improves the accuracy of measurements. Theoretical relationships and experimental results as well as some practical suggestions related to the application of this method are given.Keywords
