Fourier transform dielectric spectroscopy utilizing a real time executive (RTE) system

Abstract

The use of an RTE operating system facilitates the development of an efficient Fourier transform spectrometer which can obtain time dependent data in the four microsecond to 3000 second range. Permittivities over a frequency range of 10−4 to 104 Hz are thus obtained. Program development is much easier than in more limited systems such as BCS. The Input/Output flexibility of the RTE system utilizing the HP-IB also contributes to the added capabilities. Both program development and Input/Output capabilities are used in creating time domain programming with analysis without transformation.
