Abstract

An open resonance cell (ORC) with finite-length cylindrical mirrors is suggested for making absolute measurements of complex permittivity in the case of stretched cylindrical specimens or liquid dielectrics in cylindrical containers. For H-polarization, we report ORC features simulated in rigorous electromagnetic terms using a twodimensional (2-D) model of an open resonator with cylindrical mirrors and a dielectric test rod inserted. On this basis, the ORC laboratory prototype with finite-length mirrors was built. The measurements of dielectric test rods were performed in the 10 mm wave band. In the studies of dielectric materials, E-polarized modes of the cylindricalmirror ORC demonstrate some specific features, which are discussed, too
