AM4:
The following subject will be introduced:
Measurements of in-plane permittivity with split-post dielectric resonators (SPDR) in the 1-15 GHz range. The theory of operation of SPDRs and their practical use will be addressed with the emphasis on the advantages and limitations of the method.
Measurements of in-plane permittivity with a Fabry-Perot open resonator (FPOR) in the 20-110 GHz range. Special attention will be focused on a new electromagnetic model of the resonator based on a conformal transformation technique.
Measurements of out-of-plane permittivity with a cylindrical resonator in the microwave range. It is of essential importance in the design of microwave circuits.
Measurements of the soil moisture in a cylindrical resonator. The particular application of the permittivity measurements in the extraction of the soil moisture will be discussed.
Measurements of a ferromagnetic linewidth of ferromagnetic materials in the microwave range. A new accurate approach based on mode splitting will be addressed.

Emerging applications such as 5G, IoT, autonomous vehicles require an accurate and reliable microwave and millimeter measurements for device, circuit, wafer-level tests as well as material characterization. Although test instruments have made tremendous improvements over the years, measurement traceability, especially for frequencies beyond 110 GHz, is still of strong interest to both the scientific and industrial communities. This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research areas and address future directions in the field of microwave and millimeter-wave measurements.
