Abstract

In this paper, a simple but fast and reliable technique for the complex dielectric constant measurement of non-magnetic materials is introduced using a measured transmission coefficient (S21) and a genetic algorithm as an inversion process at microwave frequencies. In this experiment, it has been found that the transmission method is less susceptible with the measurement errors than that of the reflection method and the genetic algorithm can be efficiently used as a search technique. The suggested technique is validated with known and unknown conductor-loaded lossy materials and the conductor-loaded PCB at X-band.

본 논문에서는 전송방식과 유전알고리듬을 이용하여 간단하지만 빠르고 신뢰성 있는 복수유전율 측정 기법을 제안한다. 측정된 S-파라메터 중 전파계수만을 이용하여 복수 유전율을 얻었으며, 그 이유는 전파계수만을 이용한 복수유전율 측정기법이 반사 계수를 이용한 방법보다 측정오차에 대해 안정적인 결과 값을 제공하였기 때문이다. 또한 역추출 방식으로 유전알고리듬을 적용함으로써 매우 효율적이고 정확한 측정결과 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 제안된 방법을 이용하여 도체입자가 함유된 복합유전체 및 PCB 기판의 복소유전율을 측정하였다.
