An extensive error analysis is made for the first time for various open resonator measurement methods for a number of specimens of different thickness.","PeriodicalId":121798,"journal":{"name":"Conference Digest Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117034727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
