Desarrollo de algoritmos para la caracterización electromagnética en espacio libre

Abstract

Obtaining electromagnetic (EM) characterization of 3D printed, composite materials or a combination of them is essential to ensure safety and EM compatibility. Free space methods are widely used for this purpose, despite their inherent practical difficulties. This article describes the development of a series of algorithms for the extraction of the permittivity and permeability of dielectric materials from free space measurements between 6 and 13 GHz. The extracted properties are obtained from the transmission and reflection coefficients using the Time- Domain Gating from a vector spectrum analyzer (VNA).
