Abstract
A lossy dielectric device dissipates, absorbs, and/or dampens electric fields. The lossy dielectric device may be used with any transmission path, such as a transmission line or resistor in a probe head. The lossy dielectric device preferably includes a lossy dielectric material contained within a container. The container is positionable and securable substantially adjacent the transmission path to improve the curve of a frequency response. Preferably, the container is insulative, puncture resistant, and thin. In some preferred embodiments, a temporary or permanent connection mechanism is also included.
