Microwave dielectric measurements of fibrous catalyst using transmission line technique in the frequency range of 1-4 GHz
Date
2014Abstract
Materials performance at microwave frequencies has generated
a wide interest in recent years for commercial and industrial purposes.
However, the interaction between microwave energy and iron
compounds is an area where further characterization work is required.
The article presents a novel optimized analytical-numerical method for
conversion of smoothed transmission scattering (S21) parameters to complex
permittivity. The measurement method was validated and subsequently
used to characterize the dielectric properties of modified
polyacrylonitrile catalyst powder incorporating ligated iron cations. The
result is compared to other published iron catalyst materials measured
in the same frequency range of 1 to 4 GHz.
