一种改进的液体电磁参数自由空间测量方法

    An Improved Free-space Method for Measuring Electromagnetic Parameters of Liquids

    • 摘要: 针对液体毫米波频段宽带电磁参数测量的需求,论文提出了一种改进的自由空间测量方法。在本方法中,发射与接收喇叭被安装在储液槽上方的远场位置,通过时域窗抑制干扰信号,使接收信号更纯净。利用待测液体两种深度下散射参数S21的相位和幅度,计算待测液体介电常数和损耗角正切。与传统自由空间法相比,本方法可消除系统固有误差对液体电磁参数测试结果的干扰,避免储液槽侧壁带来的影响,同时还可以通过增加待测液体深度进行多次测量取平均,方便地提高测量精度。分析了影响液体电磁参数测量误差的因素,通过对硅油和一种合成油的电磁参数的测试验证了本方法的有效性。

       

      Abstract: An improved free-space measurement method is proposed in this paper to address the requirements for measuring the millimeter-wave broadband electromagnetic parameters of liquids. In this method, the receiving and transmitting horns are installed at a far-field positions above a liquid reservoir. Interference signals are mitigated through time-domain windowing, ensuring a cleaner received signal. The permittivity and loss tangent of the liquid sample are determined from the phase and amplitude of the scattering parameter S21 at two distinct liquid depths.Compared with the conventional free-space method, this method eliminates the interference of systematic inherent errors on the EM parameter measurement results of liquids, avoids the influences from the reservoir's sidewalls, and enables straightforward increment of the liquid sample depth for repeated measurements; the measurement precision is thus conveniently enhanced via averaging. The factors affecting the measurement errors of the electromagnetic parameters of liquids are analyzed, and the validity of the method is verified through the testing of the electromagnetic parameters of silicone oil and a synthetic oil.
