Device for Measurement of Electrical Properties in Materials

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device used for measuring the permittivity of insulating materials over a broad range of frequencies. The electrical property of an insulator is an important piece of information that gives the designer the ability to choose the most appropriate material for a given application. Of the numerous electric characteristics that describe a given insulator, the relative permittivity (Symbol: Er) receives attention because the relative permittivity describes an insulator's ability to store and/or dissipate electric field energy. This is symbolized by writing Er, explicitly as the complex quantity.
