Dielectric Constant

Many industries require a clearer understanding of the materials they use in order to shorten the time needed for design, process inspection, and quality assurance. Each material has its own unique electrical characteristics, which are closely related to its dielectric properties. By accurately measuring a material’s dielectric performance, scientists and engineers can obtain highly valuable information that enables them to apply these materials appropriately in specific applications. Understanding the dielectric properties of materials provides essential design parameter information for a wide range of electronic applications. Cable insulation loss, substrate impedance, and dielectric resonator frequency are all influenced by dielectric behavior. Moreover, knowledge of dielectric performance offers significant benefits for emerging applications in aerospace, automotive, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
