Abstract
We discuss the application of existing RF measurement techniques, including waveguide and mode-filtered cavity resonator methods, to the dielectric characterization of bulk high-permittivity ferroelectrics at microwave frequencies. Complex permittivity data are presented for barium titanate and a composite of barium strontium titanate (BSTO) and nonferroelectric oxide at X-band (8-11 GHz) frequencies and at 24°C temperature. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed in detail.
