4、lid over a frequencyrange of approximately 1 GHz to over 20 GHz.These limitsare not exact and depend on the size of the specimen,the sizeof coaxial air line used as a specimen holder,and on theapplicable frequency range of the network analyzer used tomake measurements.The size of specimen dimension
5、islimited by test frequency,intrinsic specimen electromagnetismproperties,and the request of algorithm.For a given air linesize,the upper frequency is also limited by the onset of higherorder modes that invalidate the dominant-mode transmissionline model and the lower frequency is limited by the sma
