TE-mode Cavity Resonator
Relative permittivity/dielectric loss tangent measurement system
[Sheet, millimeter wave, high accuracy, Dk, Df, εr', tanδ, dielectric loss, measurement system]

Model No. DPS19

Also called a Split Cylinder Resonator, the system performs measurement by inserting a sheet sample between the resonators.

The problem with conventional, so-called "Split Cylinder Resonator with slit structure" is that it does not give accurate measurement values.

To solve this problem, KEYCOM has prepared a Cavity vertical movement device (patent pending) that freely controls the resonator gap to facilitate sample insertion and measurement of AIR resonance Q-value.

The system is suitable for measurement of samples that are too small or difficult to reduce thickness , such as ceramic material etc.

Conforming Standards

JIS R1641,IPC-TM650 2.5.5.13

Electric Field Direction

Circularity parallel to the ground, circularity in the specimen surface (plane) direction
⇒ No confirmation of anisotropy

※It is critically important issue in development process whether there is anisotropy of materials used in electrical applications is an important development issue.
Therefore, please take the above into consideration when measuring a resin that tends to show anisotropy in the stretching or extrusion direction, or a resin composition filled with an anisotropic filler.
