FAQs
1. What materials can be tested with this dielectric constant measurement kit?
The kit can test a wide range of solid and liquid dielectric materials including polymers, ceramics, glasses, and various organic/inorganic liquids, provided they fit within the sample holder dimensions.
2. How does this setup measure phase shift in a cavity?
Phase shift measurement is achieved through a vector network analyzer interface that compares input and output signals across the cavity, with precision phase detection circuitry that resolves shifts as small as 0.1 degrees.
3. What alternatives exist for measuring Q-factor in cavities?
Alternative methods include using spectrum analyzers with tracking generators or time-domain reflectometry setups, though these typically require more complex calibration and may offer lower precision than this dedicated system.
4. What are the ideal storage conditions for this experimental setup?
Store in a dry environment with temperature between 15-30°C and relative humidity below 60%. Keep components in their protective cases when not in use to prevent dust accumulation on sensitive surfaces.
5. How is this kit different from commercial dielectric analyzers?
Unlike commercial analyzers that often use automated testing protocols, this educational/research kit provides manual control over all measurement parameters, offering deeper insight into the measurement process while maintaining comparable accuracy.
