Zusammenfassung:This report describes a prototype time domain metrology system built under contract with the Air Force which could significantly reduce the time required to measure the properties of radar absorbing materials used on aircraft and missiles. During the development of such materials, many measurements are required of dielectric constant and permeability at different microwave frequencies, and by conventional means these can become very tedious. A system has been developed and delivered to the Air Force Avionics Laboratory, WPAFB, which generates subnanosecond rise time pulses, and measures the transient response of samples of the RAM material to these pulses.
