Applications and Theory of Dielectric Materials in RF/Microwave Systems
Published January 2012Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products explores the microscopic basis of dielectrics at the atomic level, and the basis of dielectrics using Maxwell's equations (a set of partial differential equations forming the foundation of classical electrodynamics, classical optics and electric circuits, which underlie modern electrical and communications technologies). This white paper includes theory and equations governing RF and microwave interactions with dielectrics, as well as a survey of dielectric applications and forms, and test methods. (11 pages)
