Abstract

This paper presents the results of studies made for measuring the relative complex permittivity of PCB sheet material in he frequency a range of 100MHz∼1GHz using vector network analyzer. A measurement cell was developed for this purpose using broad-band impedance method and the dielectric constant and loss tangent of two PCBV sheet materials, glass-epoxy and teflon, were measured. The effect of copper cladding was studied.
