A Co-axial Test Cell for Measuring the Electrical Parameters of a Sample of the Ground Surrounding a HF Antenna Installation

Abstract

This report describes development of a co-axial test cell for measuring the electrical parameters of ground samples taken from an antenna site. The accuracy of the test cell has been verified by measuring the relative dielectric constant of air and distilled water over the HF frequency range. The resistivity measurement equation has been confirmed by measuring a calibrated test solution at 10 KHz.
