Introduction


A System for Measuring the Complex Susceptibility of Small Samples at High Temperatures

COMPLEX DIELECTRIC CONSTANT MEASUREMENT APPARATUS

    ----       measures both the real (ε') and the absorptive part (ε") of the
                relative complex dielectric constant, ε = ε' - jε" using cavity
                perturbation technique
    ----       at a few selected frequencies between 400 MHz and 3000 MHz
    ----       at sequentially selected temperatures in range 25°C to 1450°C
    ----       over a user-specified rate and temperature range
    ----       in a selected cover gas atmosphere – vacuum to 6 atm absolute
