Abstract
The present invention pertains to a resonant cavity system, more specifically, a resonant system for measuring the dielectric constant of a sample and its method of use. The system and method provide for holding sample materials, which can be in solid, liquid, or powder form, and for reducing the size of the requisite cavity for measurement. The construction incorporates waveguide flange connectors to seal the electromagnetic cavity, which facilitates the measurement of low-loss materials. The design for signal input enables the use of standard calibration techniques and measurement.
