Dielectric characterization of low-loss materials a comparison of techniques

Measurements on low-loss materials using closed and open cavity resonators, and dielectric resonator methods are presented. Results indicate that consistent measurement results can be obtained with a number of well-characterized fixtures. Uncertainties associated with each method are addressed. Measurements also were performed on materials used in previous intercomparisons.
