The invention adopts a TRL calibration algorithm to calibrate the reference end surfaces of the vector network measurement S parameters to the two end surfaces of the sample to be measured, and provides correct S parameter data for NRW algorithm processing.

5. Half-wave resonance problem solution
When the thickness of the measured medium is larger thanWhen the NRW transmission/reflection method is used, half-wave resonance is a problem. When the electromagnetic wave propagates in the medium without loss or with extremely small loss angle, the transmission coefficient->Is close to 1. At certain frequency points, a sample thickness which satisfies the criterion of being measured appears>Is a positive integer, is selected>Is the transmission wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in the sample to be measured>So that->So that in formula (103) < is >>,/>As denominator, results in a reflection factor ^ of equation (103)>The calculation results of the electromagnetic parameter calculation method generate large deviation at the frequency points and the vicinity thereof, thereby causing the deviation of the calculation results of the electromagnetic parameters of the material. The half-wave resonance phenomenon is called because the calculation result is deviated when the thickness of the sample to be measured is exactly integral multiple of the half-wavelength of the sample to be measured.
For high loss or magnetic materials, due to the transmission coefficientThe amplitude-frequency characteristic shows a decreasing rule, so that a half-wave resonance phenomenon does not occur, and the obtained->Value and->The value is the real electromagnetic parameter measured value of the measured medium. Whereas for non-magnetic low-loss materials the relative complex permeability is such that>Can therefore be used +>Value to substitute->The value is obtained. From equation (112): />
the measurement result is stable in the whole measurement frequency band. On the basis of the above-mentioned information, to further eliminateThe reflection factor ^ is calculated using the formula (126) instead of the formulae (107) to (109)>:
Wherein the content of the first and second substances,is the characteristic impedance of the air region in the transmission line>Is the normalized characteristic impedance of the sample to be measured. />The selection principle of the sign after square opening is based on>Re denotes a function of the real part of the complex number, the positive and negative sum of Z->Are positively correlated. Calculation of a reflection coefficient in accordance with formula (126)>At this time>Has not occurred solely in the denominator of the formula and is therefore ≥ er>Then, the reflection coefficient is calculated using equation (126)>And large fluctuation does not occur, so that the calculation results of the formula (111) and the formula (112) do not show large fluctuation.
