copper cladding (weight Q) for the resonator
pattern card is recommended as mentioned in 5.1. If weight
Q is used, the embedding process discussed in note 9.7 can
be avoided. Experience has indicated that this reduction in
thickness has not impaired the loss tangent values obtained
by the method.
5.3
Older Fixture Design
An
older acceptable alternate
test fixture design is shown in Figure 15. This is included since
fixtures of this type are in service at various laboratories. Com-
pared to 5.1, fixtures of this design depend on ambient con-
ditions for temperature control. Changing resonator test pat-
tern cards is less convenient.
5.4
Temperature Control
It
is a well-known fact that PTFE
and composites containing it show a room temperature tran-
sition in the crystalline structure that produces a step-like
change in the permittivity. This temperature region should be
avoided.
Normally, control of ambient temperature is adequate for rou-
tine measurements. A means other than ambient temperature
to control fixture temperature facilitates collecting data on the
variation of permittivity with temperature. With the test fixture
of 5.1., use 6 mm inside diameter tubing for circulating fluid to
control temperature. The following items are needed to com-
plete the temperature control system.
5.4.1
Laboratory
Immersion Heating Bath/Circulator, such
as Haake Model D1, Lauda Model MT, or equivalent and a
small capacity bath. The Immersion Heating Bath/Circulator
shall be connected to the clamping blocks in series with a
return line to the bath.
5.4.2
Two
fine diameter thermocouple probes with leads
and suitable instrumentation for readout or recording of tem-
perature. A digital thermometer, such as Ohmega Model DSS
115 or equivalent, is used for monitoring temperature.

Measuring Procedure
6.1 Preparation for Testing
The
actual length of the reso-
nator element shall be determined by an optical comparator or
other means capable of accuracy to 0.005 mm or smaller.
Unless otherwise specified, specimens shall be stored before
testing at 23°C + 1-5°C/50% ± 5% relative humidity (RH). The
referee minimum storage time is 16 hours. Shorter times may
be used if they can be shown to yield equivalent test results.
If electronic equipment, as listed in 4.2, is used, it shall be
turned on at least one half hour before use to allow warm-up
and stabilization. The automatic frequency counter listed in
4.2 is provided with temperature control of the clock crystal
that operates even when the power switch is off. Care should

be
taken to assure that power is continuously supplied to this
unit to avoid a longer warm-up time. Other equipment using
vacuum tube devices will require a longer warm-up time as
specified in the manufacturer’s literature.
The temperature of the test fixture shall be in the range of
22°C to 24°C, unless otherwise specified. If this standard
temperature is to be used and the temperature of the fixture
is to be controlled by the ambient conditions in the testing
laboratory, then the laboratory shall be maintained at 22°C to
24°C and the fixture shall be stored in the laboratory for at
least 24 hours prior to use.
If non-standard temperature is specified and the fixture of 4.1
is used with the temperature control apparatus described in
4.2, then the rest of this paragraph applies. Prior to making
electrical measurements, the circulator is started and adjusted
to within 1°C of the desired test temperature. The time
required for stabilization depends on the specific temperature
control apparatus in use, the size of the circulation bath tank,
and the temperature selected. Additional stabilization time will
be required for each specimen to come to the set temperature
after it has been clamped in the fixture.
The test fixture containing the test specimens shall be placed
in the clamping fixture and the specified force of 4.45 ± 0.22
kN is applied through the calibrated force gauge to the 1290
mm

area
centered directly over the resonant circuit as shown
in the assembly of Figure 12, Figure 13, or Figure 15.
6.2
Manual Measurement of the Specimen
The
follow-
ing procedure is applicable where equipment as described in
4.1 is available. The equipment of 4.2 could also be operated
manually. The stripline resonator formed by the fixture pattern
card and ground planes with the specimen cards inserted is
referred to as a cavity. The sweep oscillator is referred to here
as the sweeper.
6.2.1
Determination of Cavity Resonant Frequency
The
resonant
frequency of the circuit shall be found by scanning
the sweeper over the expected transmission range of the test
resonator. The sweeper shall be precisely adjusted to the fre-
quency that produces a maximum reading of the SWR Meter
No. 1. The frequency meter shall then be adjusted for a mini-
mum reading of the SWR Meter No. 2. Record the resonant
frequency. The input selector of the SWR Meter No. 1 should
be set for low impedance input for proper square law detec-
tion.
6.2.2
Determination of Cavity Half-Power Points
With
the
incident signal having been set to maximum resonator
transmission, adjust the gain of the SWR Meter No. 1 until the
meter reads 0 dB. The frequency of the sweeper shall then be
adjusted to give 3 dB readings both above and below the
maximum transmission frequency. Measure each frequency
with the frequency meter and record the results:
• f1: above the maximum transmission frequency
• f2: below the maximum transmission frequency
6.3
Automated Measurement of the Specimen
For
an
automated system to be used in performing the measure-
ment, computer software is needed that will collect paired
values of frequency and transmitted power. From this data,
the frequency for maximum power transmission and the fre-
quencies of the half power points are determined. The com-
puter program may optionally include computation of permit-
tivity and loss tangent as described in 7.0. Results and
collected data may be displayed on the screen, stored in a
disk file, sent to a printer, or any combination of these.
In one possible mode of operation with the equipment
described in 4.2, the following sequence of steps is performed
as many times as necessary to get enough data to complete
the test procedure. The computer is designated as the con-
troller on the GPIB.
6.3.1
The
computer sets the sweeper to a selected carrier
wave frequency without an AM or FM audio signal to a desired
output power level, such as 10 dBm.
6.3.2
The
same frequency is given to the synchronizer with
instructions to lock the frequency of the sweeper to the speci-
fied value.
6.3.3
The
computer checks the synchronizer for status until
the status value drops to zero, indicating the frequency is
locked.
6.3.4
The
power meter reading is obtained by the computer.
Since it takes a finite amount of time for the power sensor to
stabilize, either a delay is used or the reading may be taken
repeatedly until consecutive readings meet a given require-
ment for stability.
6.4
Use of the Network Analyzer for Measurement of
the Specimen
An
automated network analyzer may be
used either by operating the front panel controls manually or
under computer control with suitable specialized software.
The fixture with the specimen is connected by test cables and
adapters as a device under test. Set up the instrument so the

transmission/incident power ratio in negative dB vertical scale
units versus frequency on the horizontal scale. Select the start
and stop frequency range to sweep across the resonance
peak and at least 3 dB below the peak. Adjust the start and
stop frequency values as narrowly as possible, but still include
the resonant peak and the portions of the response curve on
both sides of it that extend downward 3 dB.

The

These may then
be used in the calculations shown in 7.2.

instrument. Collect from the network analyzer all of the f,dB

Calculations
7.1 Stripline Permittivity
At
resonance, the electrical
length of the resonator circuit is an integral number of half
wavelengths. The effective stripline permittivity, ε
r
,
can be cal-
culated from the frequency of maximum transmission as fol-
lows:
ε
r
=[
nC/(2f
r
(L
+ ∆L))]
2
[1]
Where
n is the number of half wavelengths along the resonant
strip of length L, ∆L is the total effective increase in length of
the resonant strip due to the fringing field at the ends of the
resonant strip, C (the speed of light) is 3.000z10
11
mm/s, and
f
r
is
the measured resonant (maximum transmission) fre-
quency.
The more exact value for C of 2.9978z10
11
mm/s
would give a
lower permittivity value, differing for example by 0.003 for 2.5
permittivity material. This method does not use the more exact
value to avoid confusion with specifications for materials and
proven component designs based on older versions of this
method where 3.000z10
11
has
been in use.
For example, for a specified 38.1 mm long resonator, the
parameters at X-band aren=4,L=38.1 mm. For a given
material with ∆L = 1.397 mm, the formula for ε
r
becomes:

7.1.1
Determination of L
∆L,
a correction for the fringing
capacitance at the ends of the resonator element, is affected
by the value of the ground plane spacing and the degree of
anisotropy of permittivity of the material being tested. The
degree of anisotropy is affected by the amount and orientation
of fiber and the difference between permittivity of fiber and
matrix polymer. Because of this, a ∆L value for use with a
particular type of material must be determined experimentally
by the following procedure.
7.1.1.1
Prepare
a series of resonator circuit cards having
patterns in which only the resonator element length is varied
to provide n values of 1, 2, 3, and 4 at close to the same fre-
quency. For example, lengths of 9.5 mm, 19.0 mm, 28.6 mm,
and 38.1 mm may be used.
7.1.1.2
For
each of at least three sets of typical specimen
pairs of the material to be measured, measurements of f
r
are
obtained
at each L value. Plot L f
r
/n
on the Y axis versus f
r
/n
on
the X axis or preferably use a numeric linear regression
analysis procedure to determine the slope of the least squares
fit through the four data points. The slope is equal to the
negative value of ∆L.
7.1.1.3
The ∆L
values for each of the specimen pairs may
then be averaged to provide a suitable working ∆L value. For
a given material type, a ∆L value should be agreed upon as
standard for testing to a specification.

Determination of Effect of Specimen Thickness on
L
The ∆L
correction for end fringing capacitance will vary
