Doble línea microstrip para extracción de permitividad a temperaturas extremas

Abstract

[en] Many cryogenic missions for space observation have been launched in the past. In all of them, it was key to insulate the observation devices from thermal and electromagnetic perturbations. A solid understanding of materials and signal propagation is therefore essential to achieve full spectral isolation for cryogenic systems. This work introduces a non-resonant electromagnetic characterization method to extract permittivity and loss in dielectric materials at extreme temperatures. The authors design, simulate and validate a double microstrip transmission line and implement a flexible extraction method to measure permittivity over a wide frequency range, using materials such as CuClad 250, ROGERS 4350B and FR-4. Albeit refinements to the extraction process and comparison with real measurements in a cryogenic setting are possible, the resulting system is shown to be consistent and reliable across all simulations.
