Applications for low-temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) and high-temperature cofired ceramics (HTCC) are advancing to higher frequencies. In order to design ceramic microsystems and electronic packages, the electrical properties of materials must be well characterized over a broad frequency range. In this study, the dielectric properties of commercial aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with different glass loadings are characterized using three different measurement techniques: the split-post cavity, terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy, and Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR). Specifically, the dielectric properties will be characterized from 10 GHz to IR frequencies. A split-post cavity was employed for determination of dielectric properties in the 10 GHz range. A broadband THz spectroscopy technique was used to characterize the specimens using measured time-domain transmission data. The dielectric constant and loss were extracted from the sample's frequency-domain transmission characteristics, providing data between 100 GHz and 2 THz. Additionally, FTIR was used to characterize the samples from ~33 to 3300 cm−1 (~1–100 THz). The measurements from the three techniques are compared, and dielectric constant and loss data will be presented for commercial and experimental ceramic systems from 10 GHz to IR frequencies.

This paper presents the method to predict the shielding effectiveness of cement powder mixed with different amount of graphite powder. Cement mixed with different percentage of graphite is prepared. Their dielectric constant and loss tangent are measured based on the transmission/reflection technique using APC7 connector. The measured data is fed into Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for training. When the training process is completed the neural network is used to predict the dielectric constant and loss tangent of cement-graphite mixture that contains different amount of graphite. The comparison shows that the trained neural network is very successful to predict the dielectric constant and loss tangent of cement-graphite mixture. The proposed graphical user interface has made the process of shielding effectiveness prediction becomes more user friendly especially for those designers who are not familiar with the analytical calculation of shielding effectiveness and dielectric measurement.

This paper is focused on investigation of dielectric properties of various substrates for InkJet printing technology. In addition this paper included investigation of dielectric properties' homogeneity. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of polymeric flexible substrates (Polyimide DuPont Kapton HN, PET Mylar A, PEN Teonex Q51) and insulation paper (Nomex 410) were measured in GHz frequency area. Measurements were done by combination of vector network analyzer and split cylinder resonator. This measuring method provides dielectric properties at frequency around 10 GHz, the exact value of frequency may vary depends on specific material and its resonant frequency. Experiments included two types of samples, 6 x 6 cm which is recommended area for measurements of dielectric properties by split cylinder resonator and 12 x 12 cm for measurements of dielectric properties' homogeneity (one sheet contains 9 overlapping measuring areas 6 x 6 cm). All measured values of dielectric constant and dielectric losses were statistically processed and depicted by SigmaPlot software. The paper shows values of dielectric properties at GHz frequency area as they are lacking in datasheets from manufacturers and evaluate homogeneity of measured substrates.
