DIELECTRIC DISPERSION.
Abstract
The design and construction of a broad-band microwave spectrometer operating continuously in the frequency region between 8.2 and 36 kmc are described. A detailed discussion is given of the design and performance characteristics of this instrument; measurement techniques for the determination of attenuation and reflection coefficients as a function of frequency are described. The spectrometer permits the study of pressure broadening of molecular transitions, occurring in the microwave region, as a continuous function of frequency and pressure. Measurements of self-broadening in NH3 gas obtained with this instrument are discussed. (Author)
